Chungcheongnam-do opened a joint booth for provincial companies at “Seoul Food 2018” with a goal to promote the expansion of provincial agricultural and food exports and diversification of distribution in Korea.

Held for the 36th time this year, Seoul Food is the largest food expo in Korea where around 1,500 food companies and approximately 400 buyers from 50 companies attend. This year, it was held from May 1 to 4 at KINTEX.

Seoul Food serves as a venue where agricultural and food businesses can receive consultation services for both export and distribution. As much as so, it is expected to expand the distribution market for sixth industry businesses that process raw materials produced in the region.

In the joint booth, Gwangcheon Laver and Seosan Ginseng from Chungcheongnam-do Headquarters of Agricultural Cooperative Financial Holding Company as well as Chungnamogam, a horticultural brand of Chungcheongnam-do, and Cheongpungmyeongwol Rice received consultation for export and entry to large-scale distribution markets in Korea.

In addition, four of the sixth-industry certified companies in the province including Geumsan Deogwon Ginseng and Medicinal Herb Farming Association and Sabi Farm held meetings with domestic and overseas buyers for export and domestic market expansion.

“Seoul Food is a great opportunity for local producers to expand exports of fresh agricultural products and distribution of the sixth-industry products made with raw materials grown in the region, which are directly related to their income,” said Lee In-beom, Director of Agricultural Produce Distribution Division. “Chungcheongnam-do will continue to focus on creating added value for our farmers by participating in a range of food expositions and fairs held in Korea and abroad.”
