2016 Korea Consumer-Oriented Inbound Trade Mission

This is a great time to take advantage of the growing opportunity within the Korean market, and Korea’s Free Trade Agreement. 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. U.S. agricultural exports to South Korea reached $7 billion in 2015, in particular, consumer-oriented products are forecast to reach a record high of $3.8 billion. South Korea is the United States’ fifth largest market, with top exports including corn, beef and dairy. Recent changes in lifestyle and dietary culture, coupled with increased consumer income levels, have stimulated rapid growth of the food service and retail sectors in Korea. Because of these shifts, consumers are seeking more international tastes while becoming increasingly aware of the quality and safety of foods.
