[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] KOTRA held a 'Post-COVID Response Consumer Goods Export Companies Meeting' on the 29th at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju. Ten consumer goods companies from the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions attended the meeting to share on-site feedback and exchange opinions on revitalizing consumer goods exports.

KOTRA is promoting various non-face-to-face export support projects to flexibly respond to the changed trade environment caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). First, it supports video consultations for promising consumer goods with rapidly increasing demand such as home economy products, convenience foods, and hygiene products. While implementing new non-face-to-face projects such as emergency branch offices and online product exhibitions, existing export support projects like the Hallyu Expo and Consumer Goods Export Fair have also been converted online.

L Company, a beauty firm attending the meeting, said, "Due to COVID-19, communication with overseas buyers is still difficult, limiting marketing activities," and requested, "Please increase online services such as video consultations."

Kwon Pyung-oh, President of KOTRA, stated, "We will actively reflect on-site opinions to expand non-face-to-face projects that can contribute to revitalizing consumer goods exports and regional development," adding, "We will devote all efforts to discovering export recovery momentum and lead the post-COVID era."
