Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Development Corporation, which produces and sells Jeju Samdasoo, announced on the afternoon of the 7th that it held a shipment ceremony at Jeju Port for the export of Jeju Samdasoo to Taiwan.

The corporation partnered with Woongjin Foods to enter the distribution channels operated by Uni-President Enterprises, the largest food distribution company in Taiwan, for the export of Jeju Samdasoo to Taiwan.

The export volume is about 400 tons, and from next year, Jeju Samdasoo will be available at local 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan.

The corporation stated, "It is meaningful in that we are approaching convenience stores, which are popular distribution networks among locals beyond the Korean community," adding, "We plan to build brand awareness and expand into online channels."

The shipment ceremony was held on a small scale with only key officials from both companies, including Jeju Development Corporation President Kim Jeong-hak and Woongjin Foods CEO Lee Ji-ho. It was conducted in strict compliance with quarantine guidelines due to COVID-19 social distancing measures.

Jeju Development Corporation plans to focus the capabilities of both companies by building a close cooperative relationship with Woongjin Foods to expand sales in the Taiwanese local market.

Meanwhile, Jeju Samdasoo has been exporting to 25 countries including the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, Hong Kong, Saipan, Guam, Australia, and New Zealand, and resumed exports to China after two years starting from July.
