[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 6th, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, held an online export consultation meeting at the business consultation hall within the 2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo venue, where 15 Hamyang agricultural food export companies and 36 Vietnamese buyers participated, achieving export results worth 2.6 million USD.

Amid the global export market turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the US-China trade conflict, the county promoted the online export consultation meeting to seek full-scale entry into the Vietnamese market and inject new vitality into exports.

To make this online export consultation meeting successful, the county made great efforts by operating a Vietnamese market development team and receiving recommendations of buyers interested in Korean and Hamyang-gun products from the Gyeongsangnam-do Ho Chi Minh office, aiming to achieve results in the export consultation meeting.

The consultation products included about 43 items such as apples, mushrooms, processed wild ginseng products, teas, sauces, and tteokbokki, mainly produced using clean agricultural products from the Jirisan area, and a total of 68 online consultations were conducted.

The chairman of the county export promotion association said, “Local agricultural food companies have faced many difficulties in pioneering overseas markets due to the lack of opportunities to meet and consult with overseas buyers,” and added, “We expect this Vietnamese online export consultation meeting to be of great help to the companies.”

At the export consultation meeting, Seo Chun-soo, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, said, “As the spread of COVID-19 shows no signs of slowing down, local agricultural food export companies are experiencing many difficulties, so we organized this export consultation event,” and added, “I hope this export consultation meeting will be a good opportunity for local companies to expand overseas sales channels and actively respond to the rapidly changing export market in the future.”
