Hampyeong-gun, First Export of Shine Muscat Grapes to Cambodia

Hampyeong Kkotmurun Export Grape Agricultural Cooperative Shine Muscat 7.2t

‘Hampyeong Shine Muscat,’ a regionally specialized crop of Hampyeong County, has embarked on its first export journey to Cambodia.

According to the county on the 26th, the shipment ceremony for exporting Hampyeong Shine Muscat to Cambodia was held the day before in Haebomyeon, Daechang-ri.

The ceremony was attended by Lee Sang-ik, the mayor of Hampyeong County, Kim Yong-o, CEO of Hampyeong Kkotmurut Export Grape Agricultural Cooperative Corporation, export companies, and county officials.

This export marks the fourth Asian country following Hong Kong, Singapore, and Vietnam.

It is known to be the result of an exchange agreement achieved during Mayor Lee Sang-ik’s business trip to Cambodia in July.

The total planned export volume is 7.2 tons, exporting high-quality grapes with an average of over 18 Brix produced by Hampyeong Kkotmurut Export Grape Agricultural Cooperative Corporation, with 480 kg loaded for the first shipment.

The county is doing its best to secure the competitiveness of ‘Hampyeong Shine Muscat’ by establishing a Shine Muscat export complex and supporting packaging materials to reduce distribution costs in preparation for the rapid increase in supply due to the recent rise in Shine Muscat growers.

Additionally, the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation plans to actively support export-related projects to revitalize the export of Hampyeong Shine Muscat.

Mayor Lee Sang-ik stated, “We will continue to provide education to Shine Muscat farmers who are expanding cultivation as a strategic crop of Hampyeong and will spare no administrative support to increase farmers’ income through support for producing high-quality Shine Muscat.”
