Hampyeong Shine Muscat, First Export to Vietnam Following Hong Kong and Singapore

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The regionally specialized crop of Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, ‘Hampyeong Shine Muscat,’ has embarked on its first export route to Vietnam.

On the 5th, according to the county, the export loading ceremony for Hampyeong Shine Muscat to Vietnam was held in Gwangam-ri, Haebo-myeon, with about 10 attendees including Kim Doik, Head of Resource Management Division at Jeonnam Agricultural Research and Extension Services, and county officials.

This export to Vietnam is the third achievement following last year’s exports to major Asian countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

The export volume is approximately 198 kg, consisting of high-quality products with an average sugar content of over 18 Brix, produced by the Export Grape Farming Association Corporation (CEO Kim Yongo).

The county is striving to secure a stable distribution network and quality control by establishing a Shine Muscat export complex in preparation for the flood shipment caused by the increase in Shine Muscat cultivating farms.

Additionally, systematic preparations have been made to produce high-quality grapes that meet export standards by conducting various trainings for exporting farms on safe pesticide use, fruit thinning techniques, and more.

County Governor Lee Sangik said, “Recently, as the number of domestic Shine Muscat producing farms has increased, the supply volume has surged,” and added, “We will spare no administrative support to secure the competitiveness of ‘Hampyeong Shine Muscat.’”
