we’re confident in quality and safety of our cherry<br />
tomato.<br />
What progress are you making in exports?<br />
We can now export cherry tomatoes to overseas<br />
markets in any season because the product is harvested<br />
all the year round. Currently, only bulk<br />
packages are available but we plan to get overseas<br />
consumers various packages of the Damyang<br />

cherry tomato - 500g, 2kg, 5kg - very soon.<br />
What do you think of the competitiveness in<br />
exports of the “Bamboo Grove & Clean <strong>Cherry</strong><br />
<strong>Tomato</strong>?”<br />
Nowadays, organic is the trend in the global food<br />
market. We started researching eco-friendly and<br />
organic methods of cherry tomato production<br />
quite early and were able to accumulate a lot of<br />
know-how. We’ve never encountered any problems<br />
in the quarantine processes for exports, so<br />
Do you have any other export plans?<br />
We think the important thing is raising awareness<br />
in the world about the Korean cherry tomato. To<br />
achieve this goal, we will hold various promotions<br />
for the Korean cherry tomato in Japan and<br />
Taiwan in the latter half of this year. When advertising<br />
our products to overseas consumers, we<br />
will emphasize the eco-production and safety of<br />
our cherry tomato.<br />
