[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 31st that (Yu) Hanamulsan (CEO Yoo Seung-jin), located in the agricultural and industrial complex in the county, held a shipment ceremony for exporting 12 tons of Wando kelp products for twig snack use to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, worth about 50 million KRW.

The export route was opened through the Vietnam local market development team operated under the county’s initiative last year, and export contracts worth about 500,000 USD are scheduled to be shipped sequentially to Vietnam by the end of this year.

At the shipment ceremony, Shin Woo-cheol, the governor of Wando-gun, attended and encouraged the company representatives and employees who achieved export results to Vietnam despite COVID-19.

(Yu) Hanamulsan is a solid company that processes and distributes delicious and high-quality seafood produced in clean waters based on over 25 years of long tradition, and is actively working with the county to develop overseas markets such as China, the United States, and Vietnam.

A Wando-gun official said, “We are pleased to be able to produce concrete results from the Vietnam market development team,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to promote the excellence of Wando specialties overseas through market development activities and to achieve tangible results through exports.”

Meanwhile, the county is promoting various online and offline support projects for export companies facing difficulties in export marketing due to the impact of COVID-19.

Since April, through a temporary video export consultation center, four export companies have held five export consultations with buyers from Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Australia, and the United States.

Based on this experience, to target the global market, which is being reorganized around the home meal replacement (HMR) market, Wando-gun plans to hold a Wando seafood HMR video export consultation meeting in early next month with the participation of 12 export companies, and will also conduct global local promotional campaigns from August to November.
