Status of Participating Companies.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan City will hold a two-day "Kyushu Fisheries Buyer Invitation Online Consultation" on the 4th and 5th to support non-face-to-face marketing in the fisheries industry and help develop new sales channels.

Amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic making exchange projects with Japan difficult, Busan City has decided to support non-face-to-face marketing to diversify export routes for local companies.

Busan City will invite fisheries buyers from Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Shimonoseki, Nagasaki, and other areas to hold consultations with small and medium-sized fisheries companies in Busan participating in the 19th Busan International Fisheries Expo, whose export amount was less than 20 million USD last year.

In addition, pre-education will be provided to participating companies to increase the efficiency of the consultation, and post-management such as export marketing support after the consultation will be continuously planned.

On the 18th, an "Online Consultation with Buyers from the Kyushu Region of Japan" will be held at the online export consultation center in Mieum-dong, Gangseo-gu, West Busan, targeting consumer goods and shipbuilding equipment companies.

Busan City plans to expand economic cooperation with the Kyushu region, which had been mainly promoted through administrative exchanges, through these consultations.

The policy is to expand the ultra-wide economic zone to cover the entire Kyushu region, including Fukuoka.

Busan Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, "We will actively support private economic cooperation at the city level to create many opportunities for local companies to secure export routes and expand globally."
