Goheung Yuja? Ginger Opens New Export Market in Europe, Steady Export Growth

Pioneering the European Food, Beverage, and Sauce Market (B2B), Third Round of Expansion

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Gong Young-min) announced that on the 15th, a 'Goheung Yuja and Ginger Czech Republic, Italy Food Ingredient Export 3rd Loading Event' was held at the Duwon Nonghyup Yuja Processing Plant.

This loading is the third shipment following two shipments (13 tons) in October, with 10 tons (1,440 boxes) of Goheung yuja and ginger set on the export path to the European food ingredient market. This is welcome news for farmers and processing companies facing double hardships such as reduced yuja production due to drought during the harvest season, sluggish sales amid domestic and international economic downturns, and decreased purchase volumes due to increased inventory.

A Goheung-gun official stated, "Previously, exports were only made in the form of finished products like yuja tea, but after the Goheung agricultural products export pioneering group visited Europe last September, Goheung yuja and ginger entered the sauce market in the food ingredient sector, reflecting the local Europeans' food culture and preferences. This is a significant achievement, and the prospects for expanding exports in the future are very positive."

Meanwhile, Governor Gong Young-min said, "We will make every effort to develop sales channels for Goheung yuja as well as Goheung agricultural products by targeting domestic and international B2B food ingredient markets such as large cafe chains, actively responding to the economic recession."
