Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 24th that a shipment ceremony was held at Hamyang Sanyangsam, an agricultural corporation in Anui-myeon, for exporting Hamyang-gun Sanyangsam processed products to China.

This export is significant as Hamyang-gun, which solidified the position of premium Sanyangsam through the ‘2021 Hamyang Sanyangsam Anti-Aging Expo,’ developed high value-added products using Sanyangsam to keep pace with the recent trend of prioritizing health in the Chinese market. It is the result of continuous consultations with Chinese buyers at Hamyang Sanyangsam.

Looking at the export items by category, the shipment includes 2,688 boxes of whole Sanyangsam roots, 2,700 boxes of Sanyangsam Meumgo, 1,500 boxes of Sansam Sunbaek, and 7,740 boxes of Post Bionics, totaling approximately $572,000 worth of products, equivalent to one 40ft container load.

In particular, among the export items, ‘Post Bionics (probiotics)’ is a product supported for production as part of Hamyang-gun’s Rural New Vitality Plus project for developing high value-added Sanyangsam products. Additionally, Hamyang-gun has supported obtaining overseas certification to enhance trust in Sanyangsam processed products by acquiring vegan certification for the ‘Sansam Sunbaek product.’

These achievements were made possible through Hamyang-gun’s administrative support and active overseas market development marketing efforts for companies that consistently strive to pioneer export markets through product development and innovative marketing.

Following this export, Hamyang-gun plans to ship three types of Hamyang Sanyangsam processed products worth $585,000 to Tianjin, China.

Jin Byeong-yeong, the county governor, said, “Hamyang Sanyangsam is securing a leading position in the global Sanyangsam processed product market through customized marketing reflecting consumption trends by country,” and added, “We will further focus administrative efforts to improve export competitiveness to respond to diversification of the global export market.”
