Woongjin Foods Distributes US 'SunSweet Prune' in Korea

California, USA: World's No.1 Prune Producer with 104 Years of Tradition

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Woongjin Foods announced on the 25th that it will begin domestic distribution, including exclusive pharmacy sales of the U.S. brand 'Sunsweet Prune.'

'Sunsweet' boasts the largest production area in California, USA, and is the world's leading prune producer with a 104-year tradition, producing prunes selected from over 200 farms. Woongjin Foods plans to directly import Sunsweet products produced locally in the U.S. to supply fresh prune products to consumers. Prunes have recently gained attention as a diet snack and for their natural constipation prevention effects.

The Sunsweet products supplied by Woongjin Foods include a total of five items: three types of 'Prune Juice' and two types of 'Dried Prunes.' The three Sunsweet prune juices are made from 100% prune juice with added fruit pulp, containing five vitamins and minerals as well as 5g of dietary fiber per cup.

The two types of Sunsweet dried prunes feature a round donut shape, unlike regular dried prunes, reflecting the technology and know-how of the California Sunsweet farms.

The three Sunsweet juices and two dried prunes will first be sold on the 26th through Coupang's 'Weekend 3-Day Market' and will later be available through various online channels. Additionally, Woongjin Foods will conduct exclusive sales of Sunsweet prunes at approximately 20,000 pharmacies nationwide.
