China Dominance of Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen hina is Korea’s largest importer of C ramyeon. China’s import trend of ramyeon in 2020 shows that Korea has the largest amount of USD 149.941 million.

These statistics are also shown in the sales rankings of Tmall’s Korean Food Pavilion. 9 ramyeon noodles are ranked between the 1st and 15th places in the sales ranking of Tmall Korea Food Pavilion. What stands out is that Samyangfoods’ Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen is taking the lead. Of the 9 rankings by ramyeon, Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen occupies four rankings with only a different number of packages.

Why are Chinese consumers so enthusiastic about Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen? It is because of its unique spicy taste-it not only has a spicy taste but also sweet taste and you can feel refreshed by sweating, so it is well received by Chinese consumers who like spicy.

Above all, social media has a huge influence on its popularity. With its increasing PPL exposure in Korean dramas, etc., ‘Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Challenge’ led by Chinese influencer Wang Hong became viral on social media. Paldo Ilpoom jjajangmen, Nongshim Ansungtangmyun, and Shin Ramyun are also on the list.

Lotte Chilsung Beverage announced that it has been carrying out marketing with the concept of ‘Healthy Carbonated Beverages with Milk’, and as a result, it exported about 16.2 million cans (250ml equivalent) in the first half of 2021. This is an increase of more than 60% from the same period last year, and it is expected to record the highest performance since Milkis entered the Chinese market in the 1990s.

Yujacha (citrus tea) is also drawing interest.

Reflecting the trend of Chinese consumers who care about health, USD 1.6 million of Korean Yujacha was exported to China last year. Kooksoondang Makgeolli is also steadily gaining popularity. Recently, Chinese Central Television (CCTV) visited the Kooksoondang factory in Hoengseong, Gangwon-do and introduced its manufacturing process, adding that “Korean Makgeolli is soft, sweet, and refreshing.”

Japan from Micho to Kombucha, ‘Health’ is the Keyword J CheilJedang’s ‘Petitzel Micho’ is the C product that received the most selection at the Korean Food Pavilion of Qoo10. As a 100% fermented fruit vinegar that can be consumed with water or milk, Micho stands out in the drinking vinegar market centered on black vinegar, in line with the Japanese food culture of mixing vinegar with water for health. There are 7 types of ‘Petitzel Micho’, which include pomegranate, calamansi, green grape, peach, strawberry jasmine, pineapple, and green apple, and it is analyzed that offering recipes using Micho played a major role in its promotion. There are various recipes: ade, yogurt, and cocktails, which can be found on the website (www.cjjapan.net/micho). In 2020, Micho sales in Japan recorded USD 109 million, a 51.2% increase from the previous year, and the sales also increased more than 40% in the first half of this year from the same period of last year.

Among the top 10 best-selling item in the Korean Food Pavilion, there are six Bibigo’s products, including Wangmandu (jumbo sized dumpling), Gamjatang (pork back-bone stew), Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), and Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup). This reflects consumers’ desire to taste K-FOOD easily.

Wangmandu is highly preferred among them.

Like a purchase review that ‘It was satisfying because the Mandu size was bigger than that of Japanese dumplings’, you can feel the rich texture as Bibigo Mandu is bigger (35g) than regular Mandu (25g). Moreover, that Park Seo-joon, the main character of ‘Itaewon Class’ which was a very popular Korean drama in Japan, is Bibigo’s commercial model also contributed to Bibigo Wangmandu’s huge sales.

Teazen’s Kombucha also stands out.

Kombucha is a health drink made by extracting and fermenting green or black tea, and Teazen’s Kombucha is a certified organic product that contains all 12 kinds of lactobacillus, which are beneficial intestinal bacteria, and probiotics, which are food for lactobacillus. This sales achievement reflects Japanese people’s tendency to value health.

Southeast Asia Let’s Eat Tteokbokki Together! he most popular Korean agricultural T products among Southeast Asian consumers are Tteokbokki. When CU, a convenience store operated by BGF Retail, opened its first store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this year, it was visited by 11,000 people in 10 days, and Tteokbokki was the top-selling product. When BTS member Jimin was broadcasted on TV eating Tteokbokki at a Korean food stall, more consumers rushed to look for ‘red food’. Dongwon F&B’s God of Tteokbokki and Young Poong’s Yopokki are the Tteokbokki products sold at Shopee’s Korean Food Pavilion in pouch form and cup form. Gochujang (red chili paste), the ingredient of Tteokbokki, is also of interest.

Sajodaerim exports Sajo Halal Gochujang and Sajo Spicy Halal Gochujang to Malaysia and Singapore. Sales of Sajo Halal Gochujang increased by more than 300% compared to the previous year as of last year.

As in the example of Sajo, Halal certification is serving as an opportunity to increase the preference for Korean agricultural products in Southeast Asia. Among the countries that opened Korean Food Pavilion in Shopee, Muslims take up 60% of Ma-

After receiving KMF Halal certification from Korea and MUI Halal certification from Indonesia, Yopokki is being sold together with the original products of Young Poong.

Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen is also a popular item. It is analyzed as having captured the palate of Southeast Asian consumers who like the spicy taste. Again, the sales volume of Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen, which obtained Halal certification from KMF and MUI, is high.

Mixed coffee also cannot be neglected.

Southeast Asia has many sweet coffees such as condensed milk coffee. Consumptions of simple yet sweet mixed coffee have increased among consumers, who have been restricted from outside activities due to the impact of COVID-19. Dongsuh Foods’ Maxim Korea coffee dominates the mixed coffee market share.

Korean Pear Recognized by the World with Halal Certification 12 Korea Agrafood

here are many ‘firsts’ in the words deT scribing the Korean Pears Cooperative Union (KPCU), which is located in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do. It was the first in Korea to export pears to India and the first in the Gyeongsangnam-do area to export them to the Netherlands, Canada, and New Zealand.

KPCU is also the first in Korea to acquire ISO22000, and the first in the world to receive pear Halal certification, above all. Using Halal certification as a steppingstone, KPCU is exporting Korean pears to 12 countries and is striving to enter new markets such as the United States.

One-Stop from Production to Export A pear export specialized corporation, KPCU was formed in 2016 by six farmers with a determination to export the world’s most delicious pears. When KPCU was established, there was only one purpose: “To become a corporation for farmers”, so farmers’ profits were the top priority. It is for this reason that KPCU does not receive subsidy from the government or local governments, export pears directly without going through a trading company, and that the management is volunteering without pay. Since KPCU does not receive external subsidies, it can dedicate itself to its members and can spend less on the logistics cost as it exports pears directly. The management’s income, like other members, is only from farming and exporting. As a result, there is no cost wasted, so they could naturally raise the export price of pears, and the price of KPCU pears is 1.5 times higher than other pears.

CEO Kim Geon-su said, “Currently, our 32 member farms produce and export pears on a scale of 32 hectares, with a confidence that we are small but a strong cooperative union.”

Let’s Find the Taste of Childhood Pears What KPCU boasts in the pears it exports is ‘taste’. Of course, if pears were not delicious, it would be difficult to expect export unit price and farms’ income. KPCU wanted to find the unique sweet taste of Korean pears, convinced that they would be definitely appreciated abroad. So KPCU sticked to old farming methods. The members of KPCU grow pears in the wild without using artificial insemination, growth promoters, or herbicides. Pears grown in this way are rich in sweetness and have a crunchy texture. The pears produced

by KPCU are at least 13 brix, so buyers who have tasted its pears here are sure to purchase again. This confidence is also felt at various food fairs, as KPCU prepares to present real pears instead of a catalog so that potential buyers can taste its pear. And with this one word, ‘Korea Pears Cooperative Union’, all promotion is done.

CEO Kim Geon-su said, “When I was young, pears were very delicious. But one day, the pear grew bigger, but they were less deli-

淸眞認嗇，爲出口添翼

cious. So, I suggested to go back to the old days. Such a cultivation method was effective in obtaining Halal certification.”

Boosting Exports through Halal Certification KPCU was the first in the world to receive pear Halal certification, by the Korea Muslim Federation (KMF) (2018) and ESMA Halal certification from UAE (2018). KPCU pears are selected and packaged in a fruit packing house that has received ISO22000 certification (2018) and also received global GAP certification. The pears of KPCU, which have undergone strict quality and product control, have been exported to a total of 12 countries starting from Hong Kong in 2017, followed by Thailand, Vietnam, India, UAE, the Netherlands, Canada, and New Zealand, and recently Guatemala. The export amount was USD 1.07 million (331 tons) as of 2019, and it is expected to reach USD 1.3 million (380 tons) in 2021. KPCU pears can be found at department stores or high-end grocery stores in exporting countries.

“I want to expand the number of farms that can produce high-quality pears together to export more Korean pears to more countries, while opening up new markets in Europe and Africa as well as the US through Kosher certification”, said CEO Kim Geon-su.

Oil Market, ‘Favorable’ due to Food Service Industry CHAMGOEUL, located in Gimje, Jeollabukdo, is a company which is well known overseas as much as in Korea. It is taking the lead in promoting the charm of sesame oil and perilla oil to foreigners, and has recorded the largest export volume among Korean companies. It is particularly encouraging that 30% of the total exports are sold to locals.

CHAMGOEUL is on a roll, but it wasn’t easy from the start. It is because, in Korea in 2000, when it was established, it was more common to press sesame oil or perilla oil directly at mills that could be found all over the country than to purchase them. It turned out favorable with the development of the food service industry in Korea.

was able to obtain overseas sales channels.

It’s Better Because It is Made at Low Temperatures The biggest characteristic of CHAMGOEUL’s sesame oil and perilla oil products is that they are produced through a ‘low-temperature pressing method’. In Korea, sesame oil and perilla oil had been generally roasted at high temperatures close to 200℃ and squeezed out with a press.

However, CHAMGOEUL extracts oil by pressing raw materials at low temperature. This method of oil extraction at low temperature creates a nice aroma, and allows a longer shelf life than the existing method owing to reduced contact between raw materials and oxygen. CEO Kim Yun-kwon explained that such a method is particularly good for retaining the intrinsic nutrients such as omega-3s contained in sesame oil and perilla oil.

Going Global Market Currently, CHAMGOEUL exports its products to more than 20 countries, including the United States, China, Japan, and Thailand. Although the main market is the United States, the company is not heavily dependent on exports to any specific country, and continues to maintain stable markets with an increase in sales growth. Sales in 2001 amounted to about USD 1.78 million, and as it continued to grow every year, sales reached about USD 93.23 million last year. This year, despite difficult distribution and production related circumstances, the company is expected to achieve about USD 110.2 million in sales. In addition to its core products, sesame oil and perilla oil, another line of products produced by CHAMGOEUL, which is Korean fermented sauce, has become immensely popular overseas. CHAMGOEUL explains that most Korean restaurants in Thailand use CHAMGOEUL’s Gochujang (red chili paste) products, and that the company sold its Gochujang products on the home shopping network in India with the help of the Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation (aT).

With the recent increased interest overseas in Seasoned Bean Paste products, the company is stepping up the development of products containing nuts. Also, health functional oils are on the brink of being produced on a commercial scale.

CEO Kim Yun-kwon said, “We plan to sell raw sesame oil and walnut oil so that we can penetrate the market for olive oil. We will continue to make efforts to promote Korean oil and other food ingredients overseas.”

Popularity of Korean Agricultural Products Felt through AFLO Activities

Bang Min-soo, AFLO member

Korea has a program where young people support agricultural products exports to enter emerging markets. It is the Agrifood Frontier Leader Organization (AFLO), operated by Korea AgroFisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT). Since its introduction in 2017, a total of 435 young people have participated in this program so far this year. Although domestic activities were held in Korea instead of overseas mainly due to the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, AFLO activities are bringing a fresh air into Korean agricultural products exports. <Korea Agrafood> met Bang Min-soo, an active AFLO member this year.

30 Korea Agrafood

Q

Please briefly introduce yourself and explain why you applied for AFLO.

Q

“I am currently a 4th year college student, majoring in International Trade. I am usually interested in Korean agricultural products, so I once applied for a youth trade expert nurturing project by a Korean association. Through this project, I helped a Korean agricultural corporation export to Amazon in the U.S. It was fun and rewarding to help Korean companies export and to be involved in the actual export process. That’s why I applied for AFLO to play a role in supporting and helping the export of Korean agricultural products, which I was interested in.”

Q

“What I clearly felt while working as an AFLO member is that overseas consumers view Korean agricultural products positively.

For example, we sent samples of Korean agricultural products to overseas buyers and checked that they gave us favorable responses, so it led to exports. Also, promoting Korean agricultural products through social media to Cambodians, the country I was overseeing, increased the number of followers and likes.

This reaction shows that Korean agricultural products are favorably evaluated by locals.

We especially drew much better responses when we held a social media event that local consumers directly participated. It was unfortunate that I could not carry out overseas activities due to COVID-19, but I was proud that I took the lead in promoting Korean agricultural products.”

What kind of activities did you do as an AFLO member?

“I carried out activities from June to September 2021. First, I oversaw the Cambodian market, so I uploaded the local market research results to the blog, and assisted in the local aT branch’s on-site marketing, influencer recruitment, and SNS management. I also participated in the market research of Vietnam, the main export target for Korean companies, by analyzing the distribution environment of the Vietnamese e-commerce market and directly finding buyers. During these activities, I focused on to increasing the objectivity of data and statistics to give trust to Korean buyers and exporters.”

How did overseas consumers or buyers evaluate Korean agricultural products?

Q

What kind of activities would you like to do in the future?

“When I applied localized marketing to promote Korean agricultural products during AFLO activities, I felt that locals grew more familiar with Korean agricultural products and had a good impression. For example, an event sharing ramyeon recipes on social media drew high interest with various recipes using local ingredients. Based on my experience as an AFLO member, I want to work in a field that contributes to the export of Korean agricultural products.”

Yuja It is easy to catch a cold when there is a wide daily temperature range like these days. To relieve the cold, Yuja (citrus) is a great fruit to eat. With its sweet taste and soft scent, Yuja is considered one of the best fruits to stay healthy in winter because it is good for preventing colds. Made into various processed products such as tea and jam, Korean Yuja is the perfect agricultural product to in season to have ‘now’.

‘Apples, oranges, lemons…’. These fruits are widely known for their high vitamin C content. But even these are not on par with Yuja, because Yuja is so rich in vitamin C. 100g of Yuja contains about 160mg of vitamin C, which is even three times that of lemon that is known as the ‘treasury of vitamin C’. Vitamin C has various effects such as preventing colds, preventing aging, and fatigue recovery. Yuja also has various ingredients such as vitamin B and Hesperidin, which protects blood vessel health. Thanks to this, consuming Yuja can help prevent cerebrovascular disease and stroke and excrete wastes. These are why Yuja has been called ‘tangerine used as medicine’ since the old times.

Yuja has a strong aroma when it is a fresh fruit but it tastes very sour. Since it is even sourer than lemon, it is difficult to eat Yuja as it is, unless you like sour taste.

As a result, Yuja is usually pickled in sugar to make tea or is mixed with other ingredients such ginger. Recently, Yuja is sold in various forms, such as potions, powders, and tea bags, so that it is easy to drink and have more value.

Many Korean Yuja products are exported abroad, and they are especially popular in China. In fact, prepared Yuja products were sold out in 5 minutes at a promotional event in China. The secret to the popularity of Korean Yuja products is their strong flavor and thick skin. Korean Yuja is produced in Goheung, Wando, and Jangheung in Jeollanam-do and Geoje and Namhae in Gyeongsangnamdo. It is said that the seaside areas like these are good for producing Yuja.

Banana Flavored Milk Milk is known as a healthy drink because it is rich in collagen, a kind of protein, calcium, and vitamin B2.

But some people are reluctant to drink milk because of its unique taste.

To have both nutrition and taste, one way is to drink processed milk that tastes delicious. In Korea, ‘Banana Flavored Milk’ is a representative product that is also popular with online consumers in China.

Banana Flavored Milk is the product that comes to mind when you think of convenience stores in Korea. This is because it is so popular that it has ranked the top of the overall sales volume in the convenience store industry every year ever since it was launched, albeit only a slight difference between stores. Korean Banana Flavored Milk is contained in a cute-sized ‘jar bottle’ and has a special banana flavor, which is not common with processed milk. Such characteristics have captivated not only Koreans but also foreigners. Banana Flavored Milk has been selected as ‘the best 3 must buy product when visiting Korea’ among Japanese people, and it was also counted as the most-bought product among Chinese people in Korea. Recently, Banana Flavored Milk has also been gaining popularity in online malls as it has risen to the top selling products among Korean products in ‘JD. com’ in China.

The Netflix original survival drama Squid Game recently ranked first in viewer ratings in 83 countries, causing a global syndrome. Squid Game is the first series to top the list in 83 countries where Netflix can be watched.

Reflecting its popularity, parodies of Squid Game have become popular in each country, and Korean agricultural products are also attracting attention.

What is Squid Game?

Squid Game is a story of people risking their lives for a chance to win a 45.6 billion won (USD 39 million). 456 debt-stricken, cashstrapped players take part in deadly children’s games, dreaming of becoming the final winner to start a new life. In a total of 9 episodes, Squid Game has drawn worldwide attention with ‘Korean traditional games’ and ‘Deathmatch’, where the opponent must die for one to win the prize.

As the whole series unfolds, the people who lose the game are doomed and someone receives the prize after a desperate struggle. The drama starts with ‘Red Light Green Light’, where one can only move when the tagger

covers his eyes and iterates a phrase. This is followed by ‘Dalgona Cutting’, which requires the players to cut around the outline of an umbrella or star picture without breaking it, ‘Tug of War’, where each team pulls a rope, and ‘Squid Game’, where players push the opponents out of a drawing. Here, the Korean ‘tearjerker’ style that appears in the middle is also something to pay attention to during Squid Game. A good heart that goes beyond the simple story of death and killing to connect those who have fallen behind in society is another key to the overall storyline. This is also why ‘Grandpa Gganbu’, who shares affection with the main character, is constantly discussed.

K-FOOD in Squid Game Dozens of people lined up at an experience hall in Paris, France, and customers waiting for a long time at a retail store in Shanghai, China. They are all waiting for Dalgona, which is called ‘Korean hokey-pokey’ and ‘Honeycomb toffee’.

Dalgona, a traditional Korean snack, has become enormously popular abroad.

The culture of making and experiencing Dalgona like Squid Game is trending all over the world. The ‘Dalgona Kit’ was once out of stock.

lenges, and NBC’s famous talk show host ‘Jimmy Fallon’ also posted on his to join the popularity.

Dalgona is not the only Korean food to benefit from this popularity. Samyangfoods’ Samyangramen and green bottled Soju also drew attention overseas. The same goes for Tteokbokki, which is already widely known. It has become known through the scenes where Squid Game’s main character eats Tteokbokki at a food stand and raw ramyeon by crushing it as a side dish while drinking Soju. Let’s check out the Korean food that the main characters like so we can look forward to with infographics.

Tourism

Busan is the largest port city in Korea.

As a result, it has many attractions along the sea. A major one is Haeundae Beach, one of Korea’s most famous beaches.

Although it attracts tourists the most in summer, if you are a tourist who wants to enjoy the beauty of the sea, the season doesn’t matter. A place not to be missed when visiting Haeundae is the film street where Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) is held. As one of the largest international film festivals in Korea, BIFF is a worth site to visit for tourists interested in Korean dramas and movies, as there are the handprints of major directors and actors of Korean films engraved along this movie street in Haeundae.

Gwanganli Beach is also not to be missed. Gwangan Bridge seen from Gwanganli Beach emits more than 100,000 colors, which marvel all tourists who see the night view of this striking landscape.

Dwaejigukbap

The most famous dishes of Busan are undoutedly Dwaejigukbap (pork and rice soup) and Milmyeon (wheat noodles). Dwaejigukbap is made with pork and rice in broth made of pork bones, seasoned with chives, salted shrimp, and Kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi). Dwaejigukbap is called ‘soul food’ by Busan people, and Dwaejigukbap restaurants are found everywhere in Busan.

As another local dish in Busan, Milmyeon is made by noodles in a broth made from beef, pork, and chicken bones. Milmyeon noodles with added starch have a chewy texture, like Naengmyeon (cold buck wheat noodles). During the Korean War, the North Korean displaced people mixed wheat flour with potato flour instead of buckwheat as they wanted to eat Naengmyeon, which is presumed to have become the origin of Milmyeon. As a city of the sea, Busan is abundant with seafood. You can taste cheap seafood at traditional markets such as Jagalchi Market, Gijang Market, and Gukje Market, as well as raw fish restaurants near Haeundae and Gwanganli.

Not all tomatoes are the same. Busan has a special tomato, called Daejeo tomato. It is named so as it started to be cultivated in Daejeo-dong, Busan. This area has a salty soil and a coastal area, giving a unique, salty taste to Daejeo tomato produced here with high sugar content. The tomato is known for its value as it is registered as an agricultural product under the geographical indication system.

Miyeok (seaweed) is also a local specialty that cannot be missed. Miyeok produced in Gijang, Busan is of such excellent quality that it was presented to the king during Joseon Dynasty. The shipment period of Gijang Miyeok is from December every year to April to May of the following year. Gijang is especially designated as a special zone for seaweed and kelp, and it boasts the highest quality as a festival is held every year.
