and apple cider vinegar to Taiwan and Japan, respectively, drawing attention in overseas markets and emerging as the new added value source of apples.

here is a famous British proverb, “An T apple a day keeps a doctor away.” This sentence confirms the efficacy of apples.

Apples are a superfood rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants (anthocyanins, flavonoids, and polyphenols), as well as various nutrients (organic acids, pectin, and vitamin C). They are effective in preventing high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, stroke, etc. Korea’s export market for fresh apples is not large. Still, based on a positive analysis that the quality of sweet and sour Korean apples will build competitiveness, main production areas such as Chungju in Chungcheongbuk-do, Andong in Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Hongcheon in Gangwon-do are exporting apples more actively. Last year, 1,952 tons of Korean apples were exported, with Taiwan 759 tons, Vietnam 353 tons, Hong Kong 222 tons, Singapore 284 tons, and Malaysia 112 tons. Processed apple foods are exported in earnest as well. Apple juice is exported to Taiwan and Vietnam and, apple wine

to its excellent efficacy. Apple juice is consumed the most, and apple wine, apple cider vinegar, and apple chips are preferred products as well.

Chusa Apple Wine in Yesan, Chungcheongnamdo is famous apple wine. It won the Grand Prize in the Fruit Wine Category of the Korean Wine Fair in 2015 and previously won the Bronze Medal in 2014 at Monde Selection, an international drink competition. In addition, main producers of apples are developing processed foods that can raise the added value of apples, such as traditional Korean apple sweets made with apple syrup from Cheongsong in Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Chungju apple sliced-jam that can be spread on bread like sliced-cheese.

n the classic Korean novel ‘The Love I Story of Chun-hyang’, Chun-hyang’s mother places a Cheongsil Pear while setting a table to a man who might be her son-in-law.

This means that the pear was a rare fruit. Pears were cultivated as a major fruit and high-quality ones were selected and presented as a gift for the king.

Such precious and traditional Korean pears are attracting attention from the world. Unlike Western pears, Korean pears have high water and high sugar content, and firm flesh. Based on these advantages, about 25,000 tons of Korean pears are steadily exported abroad. As of 2020, 23,590 tons of pears were exported, and the U.S. (42.6%), Taiwan (37.2%), and Vietnam (11.8%) accounted for 91.6% of export.

Pears can be eaten without peeling their skins, just like apples. The functional ingredients contained in the peel are similar to the amount of ingredients contained in the flesh of 4 pears, and when eaten with the peel, the an-

which are regarded as premium items. Among 5,609 tons of sweet persimmon exports in 2020, Malaysia took up 2,252 tons, accounting for 40% of the total export volume, followed by 996 tons in the Philippines, 620 tons in Hong Kong, and 606 tons in Singapore.

he scientific name of persimmon is T ‘Diospyroskaki’. A combination of God (Dios), gift (Pyros), and persimmon (Kaki), it means ‘a gift from God’. “As suggested by the scientific name, persimmons are useful fruits for our body”, explained the Rural Development Administration of Korea. In particular, persimmons have an excellent antioxidant effect because they contain a large amount of functional phenolic compounds such as catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, and gallic acid.

Fall is the time for the largest shipment of sweet persimmons in Korea. The export period is from October to December, and ‘Buyu sweet persimmon’, which is very juicy and has high sugar content, is leading the export of sweet persimmons in Korea. The main export country is Malaysia. As most persimmons are replaced with imported ones in the Malaysian market, the advantage of Korean sweet persimmons is price competitiveness. Because they are cheaper than Japanese or Spanish products,

There is also Sweet Persimmon Bread, the official specialty of Changwon in Gyeongsangnam-do, spread with a paste containing more than 1/3 of Changwon sweet persimmon. It was jointly developed by Changwon and the Changwon branch of Korea Bakery Association. Market for processed sweet persimmons such as pickled sweet persimmon and sweet persimmon red pepper paste is also expanding.

hine Muscat is a seedless grape that can S be eaten without peeling the skin. It is also called ‘Mango Grape’ because of its high sugar content and mango taste. Shine Muscat nearly introduced a whole new world in the grape market that was centered on Campbell Early. As soon as Shine Muscat came out, it spread through a huge word of mouth from Korean consumers, even exporting to Southeast Asia and gaining a high demand beyond Korea. The Gosan Farming Association Corporation (GFAC) played a major role in drawing popularity of Shine Muscat.

GFAC was the first to cultivate and export Shine Muscat. With an aspiration to advance into the European market, GFAC is dedicated to the production of premium Shine Muscat today.

President Kim Hyung-soo

Korea after Korea-Chile FTA, Japan’s Shine Muscat captured GFAC President Kim Hyung-soo’s eyes. He was highly convinced that seedless green grapes with high sugar content and musky flavor would set a new milestone in the Korean grape industry.

Although its cultivation is difficult, he was also confident with the ability to produce Shine Muscat comparable to that of Japan with Korea’s technological power. With its harmony of sweet taste and subtle scent, Shine Muscat drew consumer interest and could be successfully exported.

GFAC introduced first Shine Muscat to the overseas market in 2015. After the first export to Thailand, in 2016, it increased its export markets to Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, and Canada. Exports have also been increasing every year, from 35 tons in 2016, 70 tons in 2017, 115 tons in 2018, 226 tons in 2019, and 330 tons in 2020. China was at the center of this trend.

curate that Shine Muscat had to enter China to expand the export market. Currently, about 80% of GFAC’s export volume heads to China, and about 60% of Shine Muscat exported from Korea to China is also a GFAC product.

President Kim Hyung-soo said, “To revive the Korean grape industry, we needed exports and decided to produce Shine Muscat under the judgment that it would be at the forefront of exports considering its delicious taste.”

Only High-quality Survives GFAC could be successful in the Chinese market mainly because of its high-quality.

GFAC is producing high-quality premium Shine Muscat through strict quality control.

To prevent grapes from growing too much and reducing the sugar content, GFAC applied a cultivation method of thinning out grapes enough to avoid over-fruiting or to make the size of the grapes uniform.

President Kim Hyung-soo said, “We are conducting strict quality control because only the products with a sugar content of at least 17 brix at the bottom of the grapes, and a single bundle weighing about 700g and a uniform size of a grape berry of 13g or more can be competitive in the export market.”

Thanks to such a high-quality premium strategy, Korean Shine Muscat has become known that it is as tasty as Japanese products with relatively lower price than that of Japanese products. As a result, the price of 1kg Shine Muscat was once as high as KRW 100,000, but it was still chosen by Chinese consumers.

President Kim said, “With our 110 members, we will expand our export to the Middle East and Europe by promoting the excellence of Shine Muscat in Korea.”

Also, the emergence of the markets of capsule tea and powdered tea that use concentrates is drawing attention from consumers. <Source: Baidu>

Thus, new sales channels such as New Retail, O2O (Online to Offline), Social Commerce, and Live Commerce, which combine offline and online channels, are emerging.

In fact, the brewed tea market has more than doubled its online platform distribution from 8.1% in 2016 to 16.3% in 2020. But, that RTD liquid tea market still accounts for 98% of offline distribution channels for sales, indicating that sales channels differ depending on the type of tea. However, tea consumption through online shopping channels is expected to increase as young people quickly emerge as major consumers, and as more and more consumers use online shopping sites due to COVID-19. As a result, online marketing using influencers and celebrities is drawing attention.

hestnuts, which are good for your skin C and fatigue recovery, are widely used to make processed food products for their flavorful and savory sweet taste. However, the history of processed products made with Korean chestnuts is not long. This is because Korean chestnuts are quite sweet with large kernels, but their outer and inner shells make it difficult to separate them which leads to low profitability.

Kang Sin-hwang, CEO of Bamtrae Farming Association Corporation, said, “Korean chestnuts have an issue that it’s difficult to separate the shell from the kernel. But we were able to make a variety of products while retaining the nutrition and aroma of Korean chestnuts with a peeling technology in which the shell is burnt with a high-temperature flame of over 650 degrees.”

Combining Japanese Processing Technology with Korean Chestnuts Bamtrae Farming Association Corporation uses only chestnuts grown in Chungju and Buyeo as raw materials. It is based on the judgment that they are the best places to grow ‘Tsukuba’, a chestnut variety cultivated in Korea. The geographical proximity played a part.

CEO Kang said, “Tsukuba chestnuts were first grown in Japan, but many appraise that those produced in Korea are of better quality.

We were confident that if only the chestnuts were processed well, it would come through overseas where chestnuts are a huge part of their culture.”

CEO Kang explained that above all, he saw the possibility of export because processed chestnut products are considered high class as ‘MARRON GLACE’ is thought of as an excellent confection in Europe, and as the chestnut ice cream is enjoyed for dessert in Japan.

Thus, he said that the company began to produce processed products based on the manufacturing technology acquired from Chikufudo, a famous chestnut processing company in Japan.

High-Quality Products at Home & Abroad Currently, Bamtrae Farming Association Corporation is exporting processed chestnut products to the United States and Japan.

Bamtrae Farming Association Corporation’s products are recognized for their quality and they once recorded exports of nearly USD 800,000. The company has extended the market in Japan by supplying ingredients for Montblanc cakes sold at FamilyMart, famous as an affiliate of Itochu Group. These days, exports have decreased due to growing preference for domestic products over Korean products in Japan; however, since the products are still highly valued, the future market is viewed positively. Recently, Bamtrae Farming Association Corporation is striving to export to China and Hong Kong, and has obtained Halal certification prior to exports to the Middle East. Additionally, the company plans to expand exports by developing not only the existing products but also smoothies and drinks using Sweet Chestnut Paste.

Korean Agricultural Products are Competitive Enough Abroad Grace Marie Casley, Member of Korean Agricultural products Evaluation Group ‘K-Foodies’

The Korea Agri-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) has set out to solve the struggles of Korean exporters facing limited market activities of development, such as face-to-face overseas market tests, due to COVID-19. A main example is ‘K-Foodies’, a Korean agricultural products evaluation group for foreigners residing in Korea that held an inauguration ceremony in July. K-Foodies is a combination of Korean ‘K’ and ‘Foodies’, meaning epicures who love Korean food. 150 members in total were chosen from 7 countries, and among them, <Korea Agrafood> met Grace Marie Casley from Australia to hear about how she thinks about the competitiveness of Korean agricultural products abroad.

30 Korea Agrafood

Q

Could you introduce yourself briefly?

Q

I am Grace Marie Casley from Australia. It has been 5 years since I came to Korea. I moved here to pursue a master’s degree in Political Science and International Relations, and after finishing my studies, I have been working as a freelance copywriter.

Q

I am particularly impressed by fruits and vegetables that can only be eaten in Korea.

Among them, my favorite fruit is pears. I felt that Korean pears were amazing because they have a crunchy texture, unlike western pears. I personally like this flavor. Also, the Chamoe (Korean melon) was amazing. It was a fruit I had never seen in Australia or other countries, and it was in Korea that I ate it for the first time. The Chamoe is one of the must-try Korean fruits. Among Korean vegetables, I like Namul (greens).

Each herb has its own unique taste and goes well with many foods. That’s why I like Korean Namul.

You have been selected as a member of K-Foodies. Can you talk about how you feel and your plans for future activities?

Since I was selected as a K-Foodies member in July this year, I have engaged in three activities so far. Specifically, when a Korean food export company sends me a product, I taste it and give them feedback on tips to succeed abroad. Among them, what comes to mind is banana soymilk. I heard that it was developed for people who can’t drink milk, and it was so delicious that I was very amazed. The next thing I remember is soy sauce and Gochujang. I was always very interested in fermented food before, but in Australia, I had never tasted soy sauce that was as elaborate as Korean products. As a result, I was very impressed with the product I saw in person because it felt very highclass, and I could sense that a lot of effort and devotion were put into the product. As a member of K-Foodies, I plan to actively promote Korean agricultural products around me while directly experiencing Korean agricultural products. While I will share that they are delicious, I also plan on telling others how to eat them.

What is your favorite Korean agricultural products and why?

Q

What do you think is the competitiveness of Korean agricultural products?

I think the biggest competitiveness of Korean agricultural products is genuine care and Korean culture. For example, Korean gochujang and soy sauce are fermented with great care, and pears, which I like personally, are carefully produced by farmers. Such genuine care will impress consumers and allow them to feel Korean culture. Likewise, if the most Korean thing is known to overseas consumers, Korean agricultural products will be more competitive than it is now.

Satsumas look like oranges, but in fact, they are all different if looked closely at the size, taste, and peel. While a satsuma has a size that is easy to carry and eat and shines from the peel, an orange is larger and has a thicker skin. Oranges also taste sweet, but satsumas are sour. Thanks to this, satsumas are often made into processed products, and chocolate and satsumas chips with kernels and peels cut into flats and dried are very popular. In fact, satsumas have become such special products that any visitor to Jeju-do always buy satsuma chocolate, chips, and tea. Besides satsumas, Hallabong is famous for its large size and sour taste, and Cheonhyehyang is gaining popularity recently with its sweet taste and thin skin.

Miyeok is called the vegetable of the sea in Korea. As the name suggests, miyeok grows in the sea and is characterized by its long length blue color. In Korea, miyeok is often eaten with a seasoning based on gochujang, but it is usually distributed in a dried form.

Thanks to this, miyeok has a long storage period and is inexpensive, becoming a good source of ‘cost-effective’ minerals and fiber.

Dried miyeok is often used as an ingredient for soup, and depending on one’s preference, it can be added with beef or clams and seasoned with soy sauce to prepare a delicious meal.

Due to its simple recipe, many students living alone in Korea make this soup, which is also cooked for people on their birthday as it is food for postpartum health. Korea has recently been exporting instant miyeokguk products.

The soup products have become so popular on Amazon that they ranked first in the ‘Fresh Prepared Soups, Stews & Chili’ category.

Gunsan where the Past and the Present Coexist eollabuk-do’s Gunsan preserves its history J from the 1900s. Its buildings that have endured decades of time are established around the streets, recreating the scene of old times. This is why Gunsan is called a city where the present and the history are in harmony, so you feel the passage of time from wooden architecture to tin roofs. For this reason, it is also popular as a filming location. Let’s take a trip to Gunsan full of attractions and food in October, with a cool autumn breeze.

Tourism

Gunsan’s tourism concept is ‘time travel’.

Each year, it holds a festival to look around the time travel village under the theme of ‘Time travel from modernity to the past and the future’. Showing Gunsan’s history from the 1900s to the 1990s, this time travel village has about 10 different buildings for each period. These include: the Gunsan Modern History Museum, Chowon Photo Gallery.

Gunsan is a maritime city. You can meet the sea of Gunsan at the Gogunsan Gundo group of islands, an island cluster consisting of 16 inhabited islands and 47 uninhabited islands. Once an island where you could see the scenery of Gogunsan Gundo at a glance, Sinsido island is a famous tourist attraction with the world’s longest seawall of 33.9km built recently.

Gunsan has pretty photo zones all over.

One of them is Gyeongamdong railroad village, which is near the 2.5km-long railway connecting Gunsan Paper Korea Factory and Gunsan Station. Now it is a good photo spot for a memorable trip, as it is decorated with the vibe and atmosphere of the 1980s. The railroad village was also the filming location.

Jjambbong

The food that immediately comes to mind when you think of Gunsan is Jjambbong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup). Its ancestor is chaomamian sold by overseas Chinese, who added red chili powder to the noodles to make what is now Jjambbong today.

Overseas Chinese were banned from owning farmland after the enactment of the Foreign Land Act in 1961, and Gunsan Jjambbong became popular as they opened Chinese restaurants. There are more than 100 kinds of Jjambbong because Gunsan is where the sea and land meet and has abundant agricultural and marine products. Currently, Jjambbong Street is established in Jangmi-dong, Gunsan.

Jjambbong is an important asset of Gunsan, generating an annual economic revenue effect of KRW 30 billion. After you eat Jjambbong, it’s dessert time. In Gunsan, sweet red bean bread is famous for dessert. Gunsan’s sweet red bean bread is made with Hinchalssal barely, its specialty product, so it has a thinner skin and is more sticky than ordinary bread. There are always very long lines of people to buy the Gunsan sweet red bean bread at Lee Sung Dang, the oldest bakery in Korea.

Sweet red bean bread

Local Products Hinchalssal barely

The special product that goes into both ‘Jjambbong ramyeon’ as well as sweet red bean bread is Hinchalssal barely. Since it can be used to make traditional foods such as gochujang, it is also called ‘glutinous rice of barley’. Since Hinchalssal barely is easy to mix with rice without a separate soaking process and contains 7 times higher soluble fiber than that of regular rice and 3.7 times higher than wheat, it is popular among consumers who are highly interested in health food.

Kokoma Cabbage is also a key agricultural product of Gunsan that is emerging in popularity recently.

Gunsan has been cultivating this item as a new income crop since 2018. Kokoma Cabbage is smaller than regular cabbage and has a crunchy texture with a high sugar content, so it has been exported to Japan and Taiwan since the first year of harvest. Kokoma Cabbage is the hero that has helped Gunsan, which was once doing poorly in agricultural product exports, establish as the main production area for horticultural products.
