High-Quality Pork from Jeonnam Mountains Set to Be Exported to Hong Kong

Equivalent to 300 fish worth 120 million won

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] High-quality pork produced in Jeonnam is set to be exported to Hong Kong.

On the 25th, Jeonnam Province held a ceremony to commemorate the export of high-quality Jeonnam pork to Hong Kong, attended by representatives from Dongmyeong Livestock Co., Ltd. (CEO Byun Jaeho) and the Jeonnam branch of the Korea Pork Producers Association.

Jeonnam Province has actively supported policies to expand exports of high-quality Jeonnam pork and stabilize the pig farming industry.

Dongmyeong Livestock, a meat processing company in the province, has continuously worked to finalize the contract.

As a result, they secured an export contract with a local Hong Kong company for 300 pigs worth 120 million KRW (26 tons of carcass weight).

From the contracted export volume, the first shipment consists of pork from 100 pigs (8.5 tons) including three items (samgyeopsal, front leg meat, and hind leg meat) worth 40 million KRW.

This is the second achievement following a pilot export of 5 tons worth 40 million KRW in August last year.

Dongmyeong Livestock plans to export an additional 200 pigs' worth of processed Jeonnam pork to Hong Kong in two shipments.

To expand export volumes, they plan to sign a long-term supply contract and a business agreement with the local company.

CEO Byun Jaeho said, "We expect a significant increase in export volumes to Hong Kong," adding, "We will do our best to captivate the taste of Hong Kong consumers with high-quality Jeonnam pork through thorough quality control and production of export-standard products."

A Jeonnam Province official stated, "The future of livestock farming depends on exports," and added, "We will do our best to play a leading role in entering export markets to enhance the value of Jeonnam livestock brands."
