According to Yonhap News,

Food Companies in Jeollanam-do made great achievements in Food & Beverage 2023 (FHA) held in Singapore, recording USD 0.69 million in export contracts.

Backed by Korea Agro-Fisheries Trade Corp., a 'Comprehensive Information Center for Jeollanam-do Food Companies' that featured Korea's traditional architectural styles, was made, and it drew a high attention from participants.

In particular, 14 representative exporters, whose major items are dried seaweed, yuja (citron), dried fish, kimchi, source, and natural sea salt, had a total of 304 meetings with potential buyers.

An official of Jeollanamdo Provincial Government said, "There has been a welcoming trend rising popularity of K-food in the global market, but a growing number of Chinese and Malaysian food exporters, which are producing and selling Korean foods like kimch and ttokpoggi by themselves, are benefiting instead of Korean companies now." and "We will enhance Korea's competitiveness edge in the food industry by upgrading the reputation of Jeollanam-do, as a representative city of K-food."
