Korea is the birthplace of Kimchi. In 2001, CODEX, which is under the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, recognized Kimchi as an international standard, and Korea proudly presented itself as the origin of Kimchi as ‘Kimchi’ was decided as the official English name. Recently, as November 22 was enacted as ‘Kimchi Day’, Korea strengthened its position as the birthplace of Kimchi. Korea held its first ‘Kimchi Day’ ceremony last year, and this year, the state of California in the United States designated November 22, the same day as Korea’s, as ‘California State Kimchi Day’. As such, Kimchi is elevating its status as the representative food of Korea and K-FOOD.

Kimchi is a food that is already drawing attention not only in Korea but also around the world. This is also leading to export performance. Kimchi exports in the 3Q of 2021 (January to September) were USD 123.8 million, up 14.1% from the same period in 2020. If this trend continues, some predict that Kimchi exports could surpass the record high of USD 144.5 million last year.

Culture of Making and Sharing Kimchi,

8 Korea Agrafood

oreans get busy in late autumn in November, K when the weather gets chilly. It is for Kimjang, a food culture in which Koreans make large amounts of Kimchi at once for the cold winter. The whole family gathers in the spacious yard to prepare the ingredients for Kimchi, make the seasonings, mix them evenly between the Kimchi cabbages, and stack finished Kimchi in the Jangdok (jar). If this jangdok is buried in the ground, Kimjang is finished. This Kimchi ensures a delicious meal on our table all year round from winter. This is a common scene during the Kimjang season. Although the role of Jangdok is recently replaced by a Kimchi refrigerator, the process of making Kimchi is the same as before.

Kimchi is also significant as a culture of sharing community given the act of gathering with not only family but also neighbors.

Recognized for this value, ‘Kimjang: Making and Sharing Kimchi in the Republic of Korea’ was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013. The Kimjang culture was recognized as a cultural heritage that the whole world should preserve and pass down to the next generation.

In a Kimchi survey conducted by the Kimchi Association of Korea on 117 visitors during the 6th Seoul Kimjang Culture Festival from November 1 to 2, 2019, 75.2% answered ‘I will make Kimchi this year’. This shows that Kimjang is still an important yearly practice to be done once a year for Koreans, and it is only after completing this task that Koreans prepare for winter.

Sweet Persimmons Attention from All over the World 12 Korea Agrafood

hangwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, which C cultivated first persimmon trees in Korea, is undeniably the home of sweet persimmons. Having good cultivation conditions with the largest area, Changwon produces 20% of all sweet persimmons produced in Korea. As such, you can expect high-quality sweet persimmons and stable quantities.

Located in Changwon, Bukchangwon National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (BNACF) has been working with 200 farmers for over 10 years to expand the consumption base of Korean sweet persimmons abroad.

Pioneering the Overseas Market through Strict Selection BNACF first exported sweet persimmons in 2010. Since its establishment in 1977, BNACF had only sold them to the Korean market, but as the demand for sweet persimmons decreased mainly among young people, BNACF sought to export abroad to maintain the unit price. As a consensus on the necessity of export was formed between the Agricultural Cooperative and the producers, BNACF set out to strictly select sweet persimmons to enhance export competitiveness. It classified the export volume based on small fruits preferred

by Southeast Asian countries and improved the quality by dividing the selection process into three steps. In addition, if the sugar content did not reach 14 brix, BNACF boldly excluded from the export. All participating farms worked hard to be recognized for their quality, such as receiving Korean GAP certification.

Kim Taek-gon, President of BNACF, recalled, “When we first looked into the export market, a huge consensus on overseas export was formed as the consumption of sweet persimmons in Korea was decreasing. We decided that we should export only high-quality

sweet persimmons in the early stages of export to ensure steady consumption abroad.

Thanks to all of the producers’ cooperation and hard work, we have been able to earn trust from overseas buyers and export our sweet persimmons stably for 11 years.”

Quality Improvement through High Cultivation Training To improve the quality of sweet persimmons, BNACF is paying particular attention to its cultivation training. With the belief that excellent crops grow under great training, it divides cultivation training into regular and irregular classes. Regular classes are subdivided into quarters, providing a total of 8 step-bystep trainings, including pruning in the first quarter and fruiting lectures in the second quarter. In addition, BNACF invites lectures from Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services, concentrating to enhance the professionalism of growers.

Although regular classes were held only twice this year due to COVID-19, BNACF plans to carry out the training as soon as COVID-19

President Kim said, “Training is important to produce good crops. Our training has stepby-step classes from beginner to advanced, divided into morning and afternoon classes due to the strong enthusiasm of farmers. As they are very determined to improve their cultivation ability, their quality of sweet persimmons and professionality are also improving.”

Expanding to New Market Exports BNACF mainly exports its sweet persimmons to 7 countries, including Hong Kong, Southeast Asia such as Singapore, and Canada. Exports have been steadily increasing, amounting to about USD 1.1million in 2020 and exceeding the annual average export performance. Future performance is also anticipated as exports to Vietnam have increased recently. Unlike other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is a country highly appreciated by farmers as they prefer large fruits. There is another thing to look forward to: exports to China will become possible in the future.

Although China also grows sweet persimmons, it is expected that Korea will successfully export sweet persimmons to China as it has a demand for high-quality sweet persimmons as in Vietnam.

President Kim Taek-gon of BNACF said, “If the export to China is opened following Vietnam, we highly expect to be able to export large fruits. BNACF is the largest producer of sweet persimmons nationwide, and we want to become the best exporter. We will do our best to improve the quality of sweet persimmons and farm cultivation training so that we can add a premium image to Korean sweet persimmons, and export even more than before.”

Infant formula is especially important for newborn babies before they can eat baby food.

Therefore, even in the economic recession, the baby infant formula market rarely cools down. In this situation, Korean infant formulas are being chosen by mothers around the world for their safety and premium quality.

The decline in population growth due to nuclearization of family is a global trend. This indicates that the death rate is higher than the birth rate. Such a change is expected to affect the infant formula market, which is representative of food for infants and toddlers.

However, it is predicted that the infant formula market will grow in countries such as China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

This is because China, which has the world’s largest population, has recently announced the implementation of the three-child family planning policy, and the infant formula market within the market for food for infants and toddlers is expected to grow. Vietnam’s population is expected to pass 100 million by 2024 due to steady population growth, and it is analyzed that the marketability of infant products will also increase. The growing market for food for infants and toddlers is gaining momentum from the growth forecast of the infant formula market.

tein, infant formulas made with goat milk or sheep milk in place of the existing raw milk are being released. In addition, recently, there has been an appearance of infant formula that is free from the hassle of mixing the powder-type formula with water. For example, products of various types and packaging such as sticks, cube types, or liquid types that are packaged in single portions are being launched. These products are receiving a lot of attention for their convenience since they do not require baby bottles or thermos when going out.

The Fierce Infant Formula Market The most crucial point for the infant formula market, which has grown steeply, is certainly safety. Recently, adult formula is also in the limelight, but since most of the products are focused on children, selecting a safe product is essential. Further, the premium market, which stresses organic ingredients and immune effects, is drawing attention. Thus, companies around the world that produce infant formulas are targeting the market with such aspects at the forefront. There are, for example, products that use organic raw milk to tailor to children’s stage-by-stage growth and development or products that use raw milk without growth hormones.

Korean Infant Formulas Recognized Around the World Korean infant formula products work in global markets. Particularly, exports of baby formula products, which have been concentrated within the Chinese market, are diversifying into the Southeast Asian market.

According to the Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation (aT), exports of infant formula in 2020 amounted to USD 90.9 million, of which China accounted for 68% of the total with USD 62 million. Exports of Korean infant formula to China accounted for 77% in the previous year. It is analyzed that this change in market share was incurred by expanding exports to emerging countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia. In fact, exports of Korean infant formula to Cambodia until August this year increased by 21% compared to the same period last year. Exports to Pakistan also increased by 27% during the same period.

The reason why Korean infant formula is recognized overseas seems to be owing to product safety based on excellent production facilities and also because of properly identifying market trends. Examples include products that are fortified with DHA, which is good for a baby’s brain development, and products that have entered China’s special infant formula milk powder market.

A Korean manufacturing industry insider said, “Korean infant formulas are worth boasting in terms of product efficacy and safety. We are persistently developing products that meet global trends, so we have competitiveness in exports.”

Adding Flavor to Dishes with

Korean Pastes

The global popularity of Korean pastes such as Gochujang (red chili paste), Ganjang (soy sauce), and Doenjang (soybean paste) is truly amazing. This is because Korean pastes, the highlight of slow food, are made by aging ingredients for as long as several years for a good taste. In line with health-conscious consumption trend in the COVID-19 era, Korean pastes are drawing more attention as they represent fermented food.

Notable Export Performance of Korean Pastes

n Korea, there is a saying that pastes are the I most important thing in food. Since each house used to make their own fermented pastes in the past, it was said that no matter how good ingredients are, food with not so good pastes cannot be a good food. Gochujang, Ganjang, and Doenjang account for such a high proportion of Korean food that they are indispensable from Korean food. They also continue to lead their reputations abroad, which is evident in their export performance. According to the Korea AgroFisheries and Food Trade Corporation (aT), exports of Korea’s representative pastes, Gochujang, Ganjang, and Doenjang, have grown sharply since COVID-19. In fact, exports of these 3 items increased 26% from USD 61.98 million in 2019 to USD 78.62 million in 2020.

USD 48.86 million worth of the products were exported by this August, proving the soaring popularity of Korean fermented pastes.

Korean Pastes, Same but Different Korean pastes look the same, but they are used differently depending on the recipe or food.

First, Gochujang is made of red pepper powder, Meju (fermented soybean lump) powder, grain starch, malt powder, and salt. There are similar pastes to Ganjang and Doenjang abroad, but it is hard to find ingredients that produce a unique taste like Gochujang. Gochujang is even called a mysterious magical paste that goes well with any dish.

Ganjang is made of fermented soybeans by boiling and soaking them in salt water to ferment. Its unique savory, salty, and sweet taste blend well for an amazingly delicious taste. Thanks to this taste, Ganjang cannot be left out in seasoning herbal vegetables or boiling soup.

A traditional way to make Doenjang is using leftover Meju after making Ganjang, by mixing it with salt and fermenting it in the Jangdok (jar). In Korea, Doenjang is an essential ingredient to season food and add flavor and nutrition.

Secret to the Popularity of Korean Pastes?

There are many complex factors behind the popularity of Korean pastes, but first, the Hallyu (Korean Wave) is considered to have the biggest influence on it. According to Gulf News, Gochujang sold at Dubai Global Village Korean Pavilion has once been introduced as a “must-have paste in the kitchen”. Gochujang has become popular mainly because it has been used as seasoning for Korean dishes, such as Bibimbap and Tteokbokki, that were exposed on Korean dramas and movies.

In the Southeast Asian market, Gochujang drew widespread love from local consumers as the Korean drama ‘Itaewon Class’ became popular last year.

Along with this, the special situation of COVID19 is also a secret to the popularity of Korean pastes. COVID-19 has refrained people from eating out due to restricted outdoor activities, but on the other hand, it has also created a healthy food culture of cooking at home. Korean pastes, which represent fermented foods, fit with this consumption trend.

That Korean pastes can be used in various dishes also add to the secret to their overseas popularity.

“Korean Traditional Fermented Sauces are Maturing Deliciously” It’s approaching late autumn. All the grains and fruits are ripening, and leaves turn bright red. Just like profoundly abundant autumn, Korea’s representative fermented sauces such as Gochujang (red chili paste), Doenjang (soybean paste), and Ganjang (soy sauce) are deepening in taste. Eyes closed, it’s as if you can hear the sound of Jang (Korean fermented sauce) maturing on the Jangdokdae (an outside space used to store or ferment food). The Korean traditional sauces that the owner fermented with all his heart will hopefully meet not only Korean but foreign consumers as well. The photograph shows a process of fermenting Jang in a traditional Korean way at the Jangdokdae in a house in Noseong-myeon, Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do.

0% Oil, Bake Yugwa Sandulhae’s flagship product is ‘Baked Yugwa’. Due to the nature of using oil, the disadvantage of Yugwa was that the taste, aroma, and texture changed over time because of oil acidification. Yugwa, which is made by processing glutinous rice without additional additives, was regrettably shunned by consumers despite its being a low-calorie health food. Kim Hyun-man, CEO of Sandulhae CO., LTD., resigned from a Hangwa company and devoted himself to developing a baked Yugwa instead of frying it in oil, and introduced the baked Yugwa around 2012.

Sandulhae’s products can be enjoyed by all ages from 6-month-old babies.

Yugwa Enters the U.S. Market The shelf life of baked Yugwa is one year. It is about six months longer than the shelf life of regular deep fried Yugwa. This is why Sandulhae’s baked Yugwa can be competitive in overseas markets. Starting in 2015, it is currently exported worth KRW 70 million per year, mainly to the United States. It is about 10% of annual sales.

Sandulhae believes that baked Yugwa has entered the stable zone as it has received attention from consumers. This year’s goal is KRW 100 million.

We started exporting Hangwa with the idea that our traditional Korean confectionery is authentic K-FOOD. And they are finding out Hangwa’s unique savory and gently sweet taste.”

The Globalization of Hangwa is not Too Far Away Sandulhae was confident that baked Yugwa could play a major role in the globalization of Hangwa. It is based on the fact that grain is a staple food in any country even though climate and soil quality are different throughout the world, and also that Sandulhae’s baked Yugwa is a health food made by processing one of the grains, rice, in the simplest way without additives.

Sandulhae is trying to enter the Chinese market. This is out of their confidence that China will be beginning of the blueprint to expand exports beyond Southeast Asia to the Middle East and Europe.

This year, COVID-19 has closed the channels to China, but knocking on the door again. It is predicted that baked Yugwa will be exported to China next year.

Korean Agricultural Products that Goes Well with Overseas Local Food

Chef Eric Trochon,

Master of Parisian Cuisine

This September, Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) held a K-FOOD Export Fair in Paris, France and drew attention by consulting on Korean agricultural products exports worth USD 12.4 million. aT especially captured the visitors’ attention with the participation of Chef Eric Trochon, a master chef in Paris, France who presented high-quality dishes using Korean ingredients in a cooking demonstration event held at a local restaurant in Paris.

Through Chef Eric Trochon, we heard about the competitiveness of Korean Agricultural Products.

30 Korea Agrafood

Q

Could you give us a brief introduction about yourself?

I am a head chef at a restaurant in Paris, France, and a globetrotter who travels around the world. My love for cooking and traveling since I was a child has led me to work extensively in Asia and thus I know Korea very well.

Q

Q You hosted a pre-cooking event at the K-FOOD Fair in Paris, what kind of dishes did you present?

The dishes presented at this year’s K-FOOD Fair are French cuisine that used Korean ingredients. For example, one of the main dishes is lobster raviole with Kimchi seafood sauce and it was one of the most popular dishes there. Another dish is roast beef tenderloin marinated in Korean pear juice and served with a sauce like Korean Bulgogi sauce. For this sauce, I used Gochujang (red chili paste) as a seasoning and modified it by adding apples and butter. These dishes were very well received on the event spot.

Q

I would like to hear if Korean Agricultural Products goes well with overseas local foods.

Korean ingredients go well with local French food and French culture. When I try to make fusion food in a fancy, classy way, Korean ingredients are perfect for French food.

What do you think is the competitiveness of Korean Agricultural Products?

Korean cuisines are special because they use traditional ingredients. Korea’s food culture is the exact opposite of Korea’s “HurryHurry” culture because Koreans spend a lot of time getting ingredients that are both healthy and tasteful. Fermentation is the core of Korean cuisine and flavor as well. For example, Korea is one of the few countries that wait years to get the perfect Ganjang (soy sauce).

Q

How would you like to introduce Korean food globally in the future?

I think Korean cuisines are based a lot on seasonings and ingredients, so the ingredients should be introduced little by little followed by the beef seasoning method as I said before. In my opinion, the beef marinade sauce is very interesting. I will slowly make effort to get people familiar with Korean food ingredients. As people become familiar with the taste, we’ll be able to use more Korean recipes.

Oysters Called “milk from the sea”, oysters are rich in various nutrients but are expensive due to low supply compared to demand. However, the situation is different in Korea. As the world’s second-largest producer, Korea boasts inexpensive but excellent quality oysters. Thanks to this, many people in Korea eat oysters from October to December. Oysters can be enjoyed in any way you eat them.

Oysters are rich in essential amino acids and calcium among proteins. Abundant in oysters, iron is the main component of hemoglobin in the blood and helps prevent anemia. As an excellent tonic food, oysters are also effective in correcting the broken nutritional balance. This is why oysters are called “milk from the sea”.

Oysters are even better to eat with lemons, because ascorbic acid, which is vitamin C contained in lemons, helps absorb iron into the intestines and treats anemia. What’s most important is that lemons enhance the taste of oysters.

When lemon juice is squeezed into oysters, the fishy smell disappears, and the citric acid of lemons inhibits food poisoning and bacterial reproduction for a sterilizing effect.

Tongyeong, Geoje, and Goseong in Gyeongsangnam-do are the main production areas of oysters in Korea. Korean oysters produced here account for 75.3% of the total proportion. The southern coast, where Gyeongsangnam-do is located, is warm in winter, does not have a large difference in the ebb and flow of tide, and has calm and mild waves because there are many islands on it. As a result, Tongyeong areas on the southern coast have become Korea’s major oyster farming area. Good oysters are firm and have clear black frames on the edges when the plump fat is pressed. These oysters are not only good to be steamed or cooked but also can be tasted better when they are eaten raw. In Korea, Gochujang (red chili paste) or Doenjang (soybean paste) is added for seasoning. The Korean government manages and maintains the sea environment to ensure high-quality oysters are produced. Thanks to such efforts, Korean oysters are exported to Japan, the United States, and Hong Kong with popularity.

It Goes Well with All Kinds of Dishes,

Glass Noodles It’s great to have, and it’s lacking to not have-this is about glass noodles. Made of starch from sweet potatoes and potatoes, glass noodles have a good texture and thus they go well with any dish. As a result, glass noodles are used in various ways in Korean food. Recently, Korean glass noodles are gaining popularity in Southeast Asia, more as a ‘main ingredient’ rather than as a supplementary ingredient.

Why do Southeast Asian consumers purchase Korean glass noodles? According to sales forms and consumer reviews, the number one reason for the purchase is to eat Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles and vegetables). Japchae is a traditional Korean dish made with glass noodles as the main ingredient and with meat and various vegetables.

As a proof, Ottogi’s Ready-to-Cook Yetnal Japchae has also risen to popularity on Shopee along with glass noodles. A consumer who purchased glass noodles said, “I always buy this to make Japchae, texture is great!” Let’s check out the purchase reviews of consumers satisfied with the quality of Korean glass noodles.

o o N s s a

Glass noodles may not taste that unique but have a pleasant ‘chewy taste’. Also, whatever ingredients cooked together with glass noodles add to the flavor. Some great examples are glass noodles in Jjimdak (braised chicken), Bulgogi, and Budaejjigae (sausage stew), which are popular Korean dishes even among foreigners. Glass noodles in here add to the texture and rich feeling of the dishes.

Glass noodles are sold with convenient storage so they can be used anywhere, and cut glass noodles and short glass noodles have also been released for any cooking purpose.

These noodles can be soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes to prepare for cooking.

Korean glass noodles have recently been drawing exceptional attention at Shopee, Southeast Asia’s largest shopping mall. They have received a ‘Star’ label, which means a popular product, in Indonesia’s Shopee, and a ‘Preferred’ label in the Philippines and Singapore. Such popularity is not limited to one or two product brands, as various Korean glass noodles such as BEKSUL, SAJO, and Chungjungone are also chosen by consumers.

This means that he has such an unrivaled status. Recently, he has also appeared in TV shows on making Korean food with overseas ingredients, contributing to the globalization of Korean food. Amid the growing popularity of Hallyu (Korean Wave), <Korea Agrafood> has prepared Korean food that ‘Korean Food Master’ Paik Jong-won made with foreigners.

Who is Paik Jong-won?

Paik Jong-won, also called the ‘cooking CEO’, is a famous entrepreneur and broadcaster in Korea. On food-related TV programs, Paik instantly points out problems such as business tips and mindset of other restaurant owners and even provides solutions, showing the dignity as an expert. He is indeed a food expert who knows everything. In fact, Paik Jong-won runs a total of 21 franchise restaurants across almost all areas of the restaurant industry, from Korean barbeque to Chinese food, Korean food, snack stands, and cafes. Paik has been able to build such an unparalleled position thanks to his honest, candid image on the TV, capturing the audience’s heart by teaching how to easily cook dishes that anyone wants to make and can make with common ingredients.

Photos of Paik Jong-won’s Bibimguksu (spicy noodles) and Doenjangjjigae (soybean paste stew), on the menu of a company’s employee cafeteria as well as homes, have also been post-

ed social media.

However, it is a mistake to say that Paik has succeeded simply as a familiar chef and an entrepreneur. In one TV show, he even exerted a ‘positive influence’ by informing people of food ingredients that are not consumed because of unintended surplus harvests, natural disasters, or little preference by consumers. By promoting the consumption of neglected agricultural products, Paik received a huge support from farmers and producers.

Additional Info Paik Jong-won’s recipes are so popular that they automatically pop-up on the search result of ‘NAVER’, Korea’s leading portal site. His recipes draw attention because they are simple and have many replaceable ingredients. As a result, Paik Jong-won’s recipes are always referred to by Korean students liv-

Icheon UNESCO Creative City cheon, Gyeonggi-do, is the first city in Korea to I be designated as UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art. UNESCO Creative City refers to a city that uses creativity as its sustainable development strategy, and Icheon’s enhanced reputation as a ‘creative’ city is largely owed to its ‘ceramics’.

Through ceramics and by developing unique Korean traditional crafts, Icheon is not only holding its place as a Creative City, but also enhancing its reputation as a world-class city of ceramics.

Icheon is Korea’s leading city of ceramics.

In the early 16th century, pottery production was quite prevalent in Icheon that its specialties were white jade and ceramics, and Icheon became the center of pottery as potters gathered from all over the country owing to its wealth of raw materials and firewood.

Currently, about 420 workshops are producing various products such as grayish-blue-powdered celadon, pottery, and sculptural ceramics, including celadon and white porcelain.

Potters in Icheon value the traditional handicraft methods, which include pottery wheel throwing and firing ceramics in a wood-fired kiln. The creativity of potters, who make new creative works while sticking to the old, was decisive in being selected as a UNESCO Creative City.

The attractions of Icheon are inseparable from pottery. One of the attractions is Ye’s Park. ‘Ye’s’, a term derived by combining ‘Ye’ in ‘DoYe’ (pottery) and the English letter ‘s’, is suggestive of a place filled with art, and is emerging as a landmark of Icheon. Seolbong Park, a resting place for Icheon citizens, is where the World Ceramics Expo was held in 2001.

The food that comes to mind when you think of Icheon is ‘Icheon Ssalbapjeongsik (Icheon rice table d’hote)’. It is the best set meal with Icheon rice, the specialty product of Icheon, of which you can fully experience the taste. The typical set meal with Icheon rice comprises freshly cooked steaming rice served with one or two main dishes such as Ganjangge-jang (soy sauce marinated crab) or Dwaejigalbigui (grilled spareribs) accompanied by a variety of side dishes made with seasoned vegetables. For the first bite, you should eat just the rice so that you can taste the savory flavor of Icheon rice.

Byeotseom Mandu (straw rice-bag dumpling) is a local food of Icheon.

Byeotseom Mandu, whose name means a rice bag filled with grains, is a New Year’s holiday food of Icheon where people used to pray for a good harvest of five grains. It should be noted that five different colors, yellow, orange, purple, green, and white, of Byeotseom Mandu wrappers signify the five grains. Also, the fillings of Byeotseom Mandu are made with Gegeolmu radish leaves, the native radish grown only in Icheon, and the Mandu are then shaped in the form of square rice bags.

Local Products

The local specialty of Icheon is certainly rice.

Icheon rice, created by clean water, fertile soil, and the blessed climate, has long been of superior quality as it would be offered to the kings in the past. In the geography book of Joseon Dynasty, it is recorded that Icheon is a famous place for producing delicious rice, to be offered to the king, on its vast and fertile land.

Therefore, the brand of Icheon rice is ‘Imgeumnimpyo Icheon Rice’.

The peaches of Janghowon in Icheon are also famous. The luxury fruit ‘Hessare Peaches’ are harvested in Janghowon-eup. The main variety is Hwangdo Peach with excellent taste and aroma. It is a peach that has long been loved by consumers because it has a sugar content of more than 17 brix in full ripeness.

Icheon holds the Sansuyu (corni) Festival every year in time for the blooming of spring flowers over the whole area of Sansuyu Dulle-gil Trail.

Icheon is covered with yellow flowers in early spring, and embroidered with red fruits in autumn. Icheon is that much well known as a producer of Sansuyu of high quality.
