“Young Chinese Are Interested in<br />

Unique Korean Foods”<br />

Could you briefly introduce your company?<br />

Our company, Shanghai Kingfoods Condiment Co.,<br />

Ltd., is an expert in food imports. We have headquarters<br />

in Shanghai and import foods from the U.S.A.,<br />

the European Union, Canada, Korea, Thailand, and<br />

many other countries. We have distributed more than<br />

300 items for sales in Chinese supermarkets and<br />

stores. In 2010, we imported products worth more<br />

than USD$4 million from Korea.<br />

What made you import Korean agri-products?<br />

I think Korean foods are very unique and, at the same<br />

time, have a long tradition, so more and more of our<br />

customers want to try Korean foods.<br />

What kinds of Korean agri-products are you importing?<br />

From Korea, we are currently importing honey citron<br />

tea and condiments, with a particular focus on two famous<br />

brands - the honey citron tea of “Samhwa<br />

Hanyang” and the soy sauce and condiments of<br />

“Sempio.”<br />

How large is the imported amount of Korean agriproducts?<br />

Last year, we imported more than 50 containers of<br />

honey citron tea and more than 15 containers of<br />

Sempio condiments.<br />

Who are the main consumers<br />

of the imported<br />

Korean agri-products?<br />

Both foreigners who live in<br />

China and local consumers<br />

buy Korean foods. Young<br />

Chinese especially are quite familiar<br />

with the Korean foods.<br />

They want to try different<br />

lifestyles.<br />

How do local people respond<br />

to the imported<br />

Korean agri-products? Has<br />

the response been favorable?<br />

Chinese consumers trust the quality of Korean foods.<br />

Korean honey citron tea is very popular in China.<br />

Soybean paste and red pepper paste are also becoming<br />

more and more popular. This bodes well for our<br />

company. But I think the price of Korean processed<br />

foods is mostly not cheap. And a quality is often<br />

evenly spread.<br />

Could you tell us about your plans for importing<br />

Korean agri-products and any other business<br />

plans that you would like to share with us?<br />

Since 2007, we have been increasing imports of<br />

Korean foods by 25 percent each year. We plan to select<br />

more Korean brands for import and introduce<br />

new items to the Chinese consumers.<br />
