Southeast Asian food highlighted at expo

The ASEAN-Korea Centre will showcase food and beverages from 29 companies of 10 ASEAN countries during the Korea Food Expo.

Amid growing interest in ASEAN food and beverage products in the Korean market, the Centre intends to further promote products from members of the Southeast Asian bloc by displaying and introducing a wide selection of goods including frozen seafood, confectionery, dried fruit, pre-cooked frozen food, and beverages in the Korean market.

Moreover, the ASEAN-Korea Centre will provide opportunities for business meetings between ASEAN companies and potential Korean importers and buyers, as well as to arrange cooking demonstrations and food tasting at ASEAN Kitchen, located in ASEAN Pavilion, to effectively promote the products.

Companies and individuals interested in participating in the ASEAN Food & Beverage Exhibition are encouraged to contact the Centre’s Trade and Investment Unit at kbmoon@aseankorea.org or by calling (02) 2287-1125.
