Gyeongnam Province Expands Export Channels for Agricultural and Marine Food Products Through Online Export Consultation Meeting

Online Export Consultation Meeting for Agricultural and Fishery Food Processing Export Companies Held on the 28th

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do held an online (non-face-to-face) export consultation meeting for agricultural and marine products on the 28th, achieving 40 consultations worth 4.76 million dollars in export deals.

The consultation meeting involved 14 overseas buyers from four countries (the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia) and 26 local agricultural and marine processed food export companies.

Gyeongnam Province recruited excellent buyers by utilizing the overseas buyer human resources of Gyeongnam Trade Co., Ltd.

The provincial marine port department and city/counties connected local agricultural and marine processed food export companies that applied for participation with buyers and conducted one-on-one video consultations.

In particular, product brochures of participating companies were sent to local buyers to compensate for the shortcomings of online export consultations, and interpretation services were provided to enhance consultation convenience.

Buyers showed great interest in health functional foods that can be easily prepared and consumed due to the spread of COVID-19.

Kang Gwangseok, Director of the Food Policy Division of Gyeongnam Province, said, "We hope that local agricultural and marine processed food export companies, which are facing difficulties in overseas marketing due to COVID-19, will have an opportunity to expand their export channels through this online export consultation meeting."
