lums from Suncheon, Jeollanam-do were exported P to Europe for the first time in 2021. Totaling 95 tons, the exports will be supplied to Stragen Pharma SA, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, and will be used as a raw ingredient for Leviker, a liver health functional food. Prior to this, 35 tons of pickled plums were exported to Stragen in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do to be used as the raw ingredient for making liver health functional food. As such, plum is rich in substances that improve liver function and contains citric acid, which helps relieve body fatigue by decomposing lactic acid. Thanks to these effects, plum is considered a summer nourishing tonic in Korea and is also called a natural digestive medicine as it is rich in organic acids. This is why Korean restaurants serve plum tea as a dessert. Plum is a spherical nucleus fruit weighing 12-20g. It has a strong sour taste, so plum is usually made into plum extract, by mixing plum and sugar in a 1:1 ratio and then aging the plum for 100 days. This plum extract can be diluted into water at a ratio of 4:1 to 6:1 according to your taste to eat. Here, adding the extract to warm water makes plum tea and adding it to liquor instead of water makes plum liquor. Plum is also used as an ingredient to further enhance the sweet and sour taste by mixing with Korean sauces such as Gochujang or Doenjang. In addition to plum extract, plum is processed and consumed in various ways such as plum syrup, pickled plum, etc. Plum is harvested about 90 days after it blossoms. The plum fields in Gwangyang in March, when white plum blossoms bloom, present the most magnificent view as if covered with white clouds. Gwangyang Maesil (plum) Blossom Festival is also the earliest flower festival held during a year with a reputation as a flower festival Koreans love.

okbunja is a raspberry produced in Korea. B Bokbunja means ‘fruit that overturns Korean chamber potty’. According to Gochang, Jeollabuk-do, the largest Bokbunja producer in Korea, the meaning is derived from a story that once upon a time, when an old couple diligently fed Bokbunja to their weak son, he became firmer, and his urine became healthy enough to even overturn the Korean chamber potty. Bokbunja has various efficacies as it stimulates the secretion of testosterone, the male hormone, to help restore vitality, is great for fatigue recovery with rich content of vitamins A, B, and C, is rich in anthocyanin, an antioxidant component, and suppresses free radicals in the body. Recently, the ‘blood pressure control effect’ of Bokbunja extract was confirmed and led the fruit to be recognized as a functional ingredient of health functional food by the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. If Bokbunja extract is registered on the list of food ingredients with functional labeling, foods using Bok-bunja will be able to label its functionality in the future. As such, Bokbunja is recognized as one of the best nourishing tonics that can be obtained from nature today. Like plum, Bokbunja is mainly processed to eat, into extracts, liquor, vinegar, and juice for example. Delicious Bokbunja extract can also be made at home by mixing Bokbunja and sugar in a 1:1 ratio, crushing Bokbunja finely, sealing it, and aging it for about 3 months. The popularity of Bokbunja vinegar as a health food is also increasing. Jinnong Food’s naturally fermented vinegar is famous and even has a higher value as it is made by an agricultural food master in Gochang. This place has developed and patented Bokbunja balsamic salt.

Founded in 2005, GFC harvests not only regular watermelon but also varieties of colored watermelons such as black skin watermelons, mango watermelons, and golden watermelons. They are mainly supplied to large Korean retailers such as E-Mart. GFC also actively exports its products. Although it is not large quantity, it has been steadily exporting watermelon to Japan even since before established, and from 2020, it is also exporting watermelons to Hong Kong.

Seedless black skin watermelons also originated here and have a higher sugar content than regular watermelons, crispy flesh. The problem was that they were not easy to cultivate in Korea since they were a European variety.

Mango watermelon looks just like a regular watermelon but is yellow inside like mango and tastes the same as watermelon. Golden watermelon is red inside, but is yellow outside. Both items are targeting the niche market of general watermelon and gaining popularity among consumers. GFC has registered mango watermelon and golden watermelon as trademarks.

The GFC has been selecting and shipping watermelons with 11 brix or higher by adoptSeedless Black Skin Watermelon ing a non-destructive sugar content meter since 2008. Watermelons supplied to large Korean distributors are labeled with sugar levels from 11 brix to 13 brix, which is a sign of confidence in the quality. Going forward, CEO Park plans to expand the cultivation area of colored watermelon cultivation and produce colored watermelons based on the GFC’s know-hows in Jeolla-do, Chungcheong-do and Gyeongsang-do areas near Haman. This is to ensure that colored watermelons can be distributed in the market even after their harvest in Haman ends in June. CEO Park said, “I would not have come this far without my love for watermelon. It will approach overseas consumers with honest quality so that Gwangil can remind them of ‘colored watermelon’ in the future.”

Notably, Woorisool products are highly praised even in Korea, the Makgeolli country, as Sparkling Chestnut Makgeolli was served at a CheongWaDae dinner in 2018, and Gapyeong Pine Nut Draft Makgeolli ranked No. 1 at the 2020 Exhibition of Processed Rice Products. Woorisool focuses on food hygiene and quality improvement as well. In 2013, the company obtained HACCP certification, and since 2010, it has been striving to improve product quality by contract cultivation of rice exclusively for Makgeolli with farmers every year.

Selling Like Wildfire by Developing Products Tailored to Locals One of the characteristics of Woorisool’s Makgeolli products for export is that they are tailored to local consumers. Products made for overseas markets include ‘MAKKU Mango’ and ‘MAKKU Blueberry’. MAKKU Mango products were released at the request of a U.S. buyer, and MAKKU Blueberry was requested by a Canadian buyer. In order to expand overseas markets, the company developed products that are

not too unfamiliar to local consumers. This year, strawberry Makgeolli was developed at the request of a Taiwanese buyer, and a recipe study for chocolate Makgeolli has been completed. It is notable that the alcohol proof and names of the products are agreeable to foreign consumers. Makgeolli ‘PONNA’, made to be exported to India, is characterized by its 5% alcohol content. And products made to be exported to Nepal are being sold with the name ‘CHHAANG’ after a local traditional liquor.

Growth Due to Market Diversification The strategy actually worked. Although its performance was insignificant when the company first began to export in 2005, it recently achieved USD 2 million in exports. With its success in market diversification, the number of importers increased to 25 countries. Considering that Japan was practically the only importer until 2012, the company achieved remarkable growth. In particular, the U.S., which began regularly importing in 2019, has emerged as a major market, accounting for 40% of Woorisool’s overseas performance as of last year. Above all, what is encouraging is that the proportion of purchases made by locals is high. The market that Woorisool anticipates in the future is ASEAN because there are many young people who are open to foreign cultures, and show great interest in Korea due to the Korean Wave. Kim Seok-kyu, vice president of Woorisool Co., Ltd., said, “Woorisool’s corporate mission from the beginning has been ‘Woorisool pursues the globalization of Makgeolli’. We are taking a step closer to the business owner’s goal of making our traditional liquor Makgeolli a liquor loved by not only Koreans but also the world. Since product development is always open depending on the market, we hope to receive many inquiries.”

Specialized in sericulture and celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, YSAC is participated by 170 farms and produces about 1200 boxes of silkworms and 16 tons of silkworm powder per year. YSAC also releases various products such as freeze-dried silkworm powder and pills and mulberry leaf tea, mulberry fruit pills, etc. President Park Si-woo said, “Since last year, we have been exporting silkworm powder to Japan as a trial run. It is encouraging that Japan is showing interest in Korean silkworms.”

Silkworms Live only in Clean Areas Silkworms are sensitive to pesticides. They cannot live in a space where pesticides are sprayed, and mulberry leaves must not be pesticides. This is why YSAC is devoted to caring the silkworm breeding environment. Since silkworms do not eat food even with a slight change in temperature and humidity, the temperature of silkworm breeding room is maintained at 25℃, the optimum growth temperature, and consistent humidity is managed by installing boiler facilities in the floor of the

YSAC carefully selects silkworms about 20 days old after hatching from eggs because this is when the silkworms are the largest and have the highest accumulation rate of 1-deoxynojirimycin in the body during the silkworm growth period. After this period, the body loses its commercial properties as the glands develop rapidly. Thus, YSAC thoroughly educates farmers to ship silkworms during this period.

Korean Silkworm Products Expand to the World A positive sign is anticipated for the export of silkworm products. With the recognition of their blood sugar suppression ingredient in Japan, they are soon to be added to Japan’s list of functional foods. In addition, the development of pill products rather than the existing powder forms is a positive sign of exports. Earlier this year, the Korea Sericultural Association launched ‘NewNew-ZN ZN’, a health functional product combining silkworm powder with zinc, in capsule form. This product has further elevated the functionality of silkworm products by adding zinc which has the effect of improving immunity and insulin functions. In line with this change, YSAC promised to focus more on producing the best silkworms with its old belief that ‘the best ingredients make the best products’. President Park said, “We will do our best to make products that are trusted by Japanese and other overseas consumers.”

Easy-To-Eat Gluten-Free Product,

Instant Rice Korea has extraordinary love for rice. Rice is so closely intertwined with Koreans’ daily life as there is a saying “Koreans’ power comes from rice”, and that they ask, “Have you had a rice (meal)?” as a greeting. This has also led to various processed easy-to-eat rice products, such as frozen rice ball and fried rice. In recent years, demand for gluten-free products has been increasing overseas for reasons such as reducing gluten consumption. A main example is instant rice, a processed rice product without any other ingredients that can be eaten just by heating, so it is gaining popularity overseas.

What is instant rice? The popularity of Korean food is growing day by day abroad. As various cultural contents such as K-pop and K-drama are trending abroad, overseas consumers looking for ‘Korean’ are also turning their eyes to Korean food. Instant rice is a product rapidly rising among overseas consumers, along with the popularity of Korean food. Unlike other processed rice products, instant rice can be easily eaten because it only has processed rice. There are many different types of instant rice, including the basic product, ‘Cooked White Rice’, ‘Cooked Sprouted Brown Rice’ and ‘Cooked Black rice’, all of which can be purchased according to consumer preferences. The rising interest in health and diet abroad has increased the demand for gluten-free products and the consumption of instant rice.

The popularity of instant rice is no exception in online malls. Korean instant rice ranked first on the ‘Best Sellers in Rice Noodles’ category in Amazon.com. Although rice is not classified as noodles, rice is included in the rice noodles category because Amazon.com does not have its separate category. The keywords Amazon.com consumers chose for instant rice in Korea were ‘quick’, ‘convenient’, and ‘delicious’. One consumer said “I’m a very lazy person, but I love rice. But cooking rice is too annoying. Washing the rice cooker is a pain for people like me. I love instant rice because I can eat fresh rice without this process and can store it at room temperature.”

Set up a Table of Korean Dishes Instant rice also has its drawbacks-that you need side dish. Instant rice tastes great, but it is hard to eat without side dishes. That’s why it’s important to eat instant rice with good side dishes. Koreans eat ‘Jjigae (stew)’ or ‘Guk (soup)’ and ‘Bokkeum (stir-fried)’ when eating rice. A combination of rice, stew, and a few side dishes make a proper Korean meal. Cooking a main dish after preparing the rice simply is absurd too.
