[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Son Tae-seok] The 'winter delicacy' Hadong King's Green Tea Mullet, raised on Hadong green tea in the South Sea, has embarked on its first export journey to the North American market this year.

On the 15th, Hadong County held a loading ceremony for the King's Green Tea Mullet at the Geumnam-myeon Fisheries Cooperative auction site, attended by County Governor Yoon Sang-gi, Fisheries Cooperative Chairman Son Young-gil, CEO Park Yi-jin of Hadong Green Tea Mullet English Cooperative Corporation, and mullet aquaculture farmers.

Following the export agreement (MOU) worth 1 million dollars for Hadong King's Green Tea Mullet signed by the North American market development team in Vancouver, Canada, last November, the third shipment of 2,100 kg was loaded this time, following two shipments of 1,200 kg at the end of last year.

In particular, this export of King's Green Tea Mullet is significant as it marks the difficult restoration and resumption of exports to the North American market, which had been suspended since 2018.

Hadong County has selected Vietnam as a target country for diversifying the export market of Green Tea Mullet and is proceeding with procedures for export customs clearance.
