Jangheung County Launches 'Jangheung Seaweed Snacks' Targeting Export to the United States
Jangheung County in Jeollanam-do recently announced on the 29th that it has launched Jangheung Seaweed Snacks for export overseas, through collaborative research and industrial support for local specialties. These seaweed snacks are specifically produced for export purposes, with a portion of 6,000 packs of snacks, worth $5,000, being exported to the United States for test marketing.
The exported Jangheung Seaweed Snacks were developed through a business agreement made in December last year between Jangheung County, Jangheung Mosan Kim Co., Ltd., Nutriwon Co., Ltd., and the Jangheung County Mushroom Industry Research Institute. Through six rounds of meetings for recipe development and product design, the product was tailored for export. The released seaweed snacks differentiate themselves by incorporating functional ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms and green coffee beans.
The product launch ceremony was attended by about ten officials, including Kim Sung, the head of Jangheung County, Jang Yong-chil, the CEO of Jangheung Mosan Kim Co., Ltd., Kang Nam-gil, the head of Nutriwon Co., Ltd., and Park Seung-bae, the director of the Jangheung County Mushroom Industry Research Institute. Participants evaluated the marketability of Jangheung Seaweed Snacks and agreed to continue collaborating for the joint research and industrialization of Jangheung's specialty products, including shiitake mushrooms.
Nutriwon Co., Ltd., responsible for distributing the exported products, is a health functional food distribution company that achieved sales of 280 billion won last year. Established in 2008, Jangheung Mosan Kim Co., Ltd., is a seafood processing company that sells seaweed snacks and traditional seaweed.
Kim Sung, the county head, stated, "Through the industrialization of local specialties, we will strive to increase the presence of Jangheung specialty products in the global market," and added, "We will support the growth of Jangheung shiitake mushrooms and Mosan Kim as representative eco-friendly brands in Korea, using this export to the United States as a stepping stone."
