South Korea plans to import Ukrainian confectionery products

Ukrainian confectionery producers received more than ten offers to conclude promising export contracts during a business trip to the Republic of Korea.

This is reported by the Ukrainian Food Export Board, UFEB.

"We visited Korea on May 15-19 to take part in the Seoul Food & Hotel 2017. Each of the confectionery companies received more than ten promising working contacts and now makes efforts to transform them into the trade contracts. The Republic of Korea is one of the most demanding world market in terms of quality and wrapping, so the fact that our companies are of interest speaks of good standing of the Ukrainian confectionery industry in the world," UFEB director Bohdan Shapoval said.

According to him, Korean importers got interested in Ukrainian dairy products as well. However, Shapoval noted that Ukraine had no permit to export dairy products to South Korea.

As of today, Ukraine has a share of about 2% of the total food product imports of the Republic of Korea.
