This export agreement involves 26 tons of Jindo’s clean agricultural and marine products, including Jindo rice and dried seafood, marking the second export to the USA and the second export to two regions since pioneering the US West Coast market last year, receiving high praise.

We will continue to expand the overseas market entry of Jindo County’s agricultural and marine products through ongoing exchanges and cooperation.”
