Goodtrae chestnuts of Buyeo-gun are now being exported to the U.S. An amount equivalent to a 40FT-container (20t) was loaded at Dongseong Distribution and Farming Corporation on the 19th, and is to be sold in the Los Angeles area of the U.S.

Buyeo-gun held a commemorative ceremony on the day when the chestnut export was loaded to head to the U.S. and celebrated the successful exporting. The ceremony was followed by a simple luncheon with Lee Yong-woo, Buyeo County Leader, about 10 relevant public officials, and 40 representatives from chestnut farms and Nonghyup in attendance.

At the event, Lee emphasized, “Instead of merely seeking short-term profits, producing good products based on meticulous quality control to gain customers’ trust and building a logistics network will be our asset of the future.”

Goodtrae chestnuts are the most sold chestnuts in the country because of its outstanding quality, shape and taste, which makes it a popular item to be sold and distributed through large markets and online. In October, they were promoted and sold through a TV home shopping channel as well.

In addition to active distribution in Korea, Buyeo’s Goodtrae hosted promotional events for Goodtrae farm products in Malaysia and U.S. in November as a part of an even more active marketing effort overseas.

Through this, Goodtrae has been able to pioneer various sales outlets and improve its brand image, and also strives to satisfy diverse needs of customers by launching Goodtrae premium agricultural products this year.
