South Korea is the United States’ fifth largest market and agricultural exports to South Korea reached a record $6.8 billion in fiscal year 2014, up 36% from the previous year. The U.S. remains Korea’s top supplier of food and agricultural products, and continues to see solid export growth in the market’s consumer-oriented product segment. Recent changes in Korea’s lifestyle and dietary culture, coupled with consumer income levels have stimulated rapid growth of the food service and retail sectors. Because of these shifts, consumers are seeking more international tastes while becoming increasingly aware of food quality and safety.

Meeting times are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. WUSATA encourages companies to register early.
