On October 21 and 23, Gyeonggi Province held North America export consultation meetings in New York, United States, and Vancouver, Canada, achieving export consultation results totaling 19.41 million dollars.

This consultation meeting was organized to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the province that are preparing to enter the North American market by helping them develop new sales channels. Fifteen promising beauty and food SMEs from Gyeonggi Province, recognized for their advanced readiness to meet non-tariff barriers such as overseas certifications from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), participated in the event.

Gyeonggi Province provided comprehensive support, including customized buyer matching and consultations, local market briefings, pre- and post-meetings, buyer discovery and matching, as well as interpretation and transportation services.

Through this support, participating companies were able to directly grasp North American consumer trends and major distribution channels, and to develop concrete market entry strategies by understanding regulatory changes in each market, certification acquisition procedures, and strategies for securing distribution networks.

Park Kyungseo, Director of International Trade at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Although the North American market still has strict regulations and certification procedures, the recent K-culture boom has led to a significant increase in demand for high-quality products from Korean SMEs. We will continue to actively support our local companies so they can build competitiveness and successfully enter the global market by holding customized consultation meetings in key regions such as the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, and by systematically strengthening our field-oriented trade support capabilities."
