S.Korea aims to export $1 bn Gim by 2027

Quick Summary:

South Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries plans to enhance the global competitiveness of Korea's seaweed industry by establishing "Gim” as the standardized international name for Korean seaweed and introducing a grading system for dried gim to enable price differentiation based on quality.

To achieve international standardization, they are preparing a proposal to submit to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, aiming to finalize it by next year.“Gim has often been referred to as [the Japanese term] nori or seaweed abroad," Vice Minister Song Myung-dal said.

The proposed pilot sites cover 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres) in Wando, Yeosu, and Sinan in South Jeolla Province.
