◈ Korea’s exports of agricultural and fishery food products have steadily increased, exceeding $10 billion for the first time this year.
* From January 1 to November 27, this year saw an accumulated volume of $10.1 billion and $5 million, 14.4 percent up on a year-on-year basis. Exports of agricultural products and fishery products were $7.6 billion and $2.5 billion respectively.
❍ The export achievement is led by profitable items which generate income for farms and fisheries (strawberries, grapes, seaweed products, etc.) and Korean traditional food products (Ginseng, Kimchi, etc.).
❍ Building on the success, the Korean government will make the best efforts to spur the export growth, increase income of farms and fisheries and revitalize the export sector.
