Chungnam Online Export Consultation Achieves $55.24 Million in Results

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province recently held the '2021 Overseas Buyer Invitation Online Export Consultation' at Yesan Deoksan Splash Resort, achieving export consultation results worth $5.524 million, the province announced on the 18th.

The consultation event was attended by 15 export companies from Chungnam, providing an opportunity to hold export consultations with about 50 buyers from three countries: Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand.

The consultation items included food products such as processed agricultural and marine products selected through prior marketability evaluation, as well as cosmetics, clothing, and other miscellaneous products.

In particular, before the consultation event, product samples were sent to local buyers so they could preview and taste the products in advance.

As a result, despite the consultation being conducted online, the province explained that the performance of the consultation was raised to a level comparable to that of offline consultation events.

Also, since buyer satisfaction was high, follow-up contract promotion and aftercare are expected to be possible. Based on this, the province forecasts that $2.778 million of the total export consultation results will lead to actual contract agreements.

Kim Young-myung, Director of the Provincial Economic Office, said, “It is not easy for export contracts to be concluded immediately through online consultations alone, so continuous communication with buyers is necessary,” adding, “The province will also support aftercare until our companies actually conclude contracts with buyers.”
