Fresh Black Goats from Jeonnam Reach Tables Nationwide through Homeplus

Gaon Livestock & Distribution Co., Ltd. Supply

Black goats raised healthily in Jeonnam are making their way to tables nationwide through large retail chains.

Jeonnam Province announced on the 11th that it will start nationwide supply of hygienically and freshly processed black goat meat through Homeplus for the first time.

By enabling consumers to easily purchase black goat meat through large-scale distribution infrastructure, it is expected to greatly help expand the consumer base and increase the income of black goat farms in the Jeonnam region.

The black goat meat is supplied by Gaon Livestock & Distribution Co., Ltd. located in Gangjin. Last month, they signed a hygienic and high-quality Jeonnam black goat meat processing and distribution contract with Homeplus. Starting this month, the meat will be available to consumers at stores nationwide.

Black goat meat is a representative health food in summer, and consumption patterns are shifting from mainly soups to grilled, boiled, and bulgogi styles. However, until now, there has been no nationwide distribution and sales network, so consumers had very few opportunities to purchase and cook it at home.

Park Dohwan, Director of Livestock Policy at Jeonnam Province, said, “Last year, we established the ‘Jeonnam Black Goat Industry Promotion 5-Year Plan’ to expand the production base, improve productivity, and cultivate premium brands. We will discover projects suitable for the breeding conditions of black goats in Jeonnam and foster the black goat industry.”

Jeonnam is a major production area for black goats, raising 110,000 out of the 440,000 black goats nationwide, accounting for 25%, by utilizing gentle mountainous terrain, wide farmland, and excellent forage resources.
