Wando-gun Holds Seafood Promotion Event in Los Angeles, USA

August 3 to 16 Event at LA Hannam Chain Fullerton and Torrance Locations

[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Jeollanam-do Wando-gun announced on the 2nd that it will hold the '2022 Jeollanam-do Wando-gun Seafood Food Overseas Promotion Event' at the Jeollanam-do permanent sales store within the large American retail chain Hannam Chain from the 3rd to the 16th.

This promotion will be held simultaneously at the Hannam Chain Fullerton and Torrance stores in LA, USA. To hold the promotion, the county exported about $110,000 worth of products including abalone fried rice, frozen abalone, seaweed cup noodles, gim, kelp, and miyeok.

Three companies participating in the promotion are Nuri Fishery Cooperative Corporation, Wando Sarang S&F, and Wando Sea Food.

The participating companies were directly selected by local buyers in the US at the 'Home Meal Replacement Online Export Consultation' and the 'On-Off Hybrid Export Consultation' hosted by Wando-gun.

In particular, this event is meaningful as it contributes to revitalizing the local economy by expanding overseas market channels amid ongoing inflation and economic slowdown, and lays the foundation for capturing the North American market starting with LA with home meal replacements made from Wando seafood.

A county official said, "We have been steadily supporting genuine buyers who continuously import Wando-gun specialties to expand market channels in North America," and added, "We will continue to hold overseas promotion events so that Wando specialties can be loved by people around the world."

Meanwhile, last October, the county held a promotion at the Hannam Chain in New Jersey on the US East Coast, achieving export results of about $90,000.
