Unlocking South Korea’s F&B market with local experts

With 60% of its food being imported, South Korea is an attractive market for global food and beverage businesses who are seeking growth opportunity in Asia.

Korea is a very fast-growing country with trends emerging and changing quickly. International companies cannot just apply the business model in their countries to the Korean market or else they will fail eventually, which was the case for many leading international companies.
