These days, Korean food is desperately being begged to be exported from the United States, Australia, and Canada.

They are busy continuously, trying to meet the order volume as export requests from the United States, Australia, Canada, and other regions keep coming in.

There is a factory.

 

This is a 떡볶이 factory in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. The 떡볶이 meal kit products from this factory have become so popular that customers have to wait as short as two weeks or as long as three months to taste them, attracting attention not only domestically but also from overseas.

 

 

The 떡볶이 factory has recently been featured on various broadcasts, attracting attention. The factory is currently very busy handling an influx of orders from overseas. Recently, it exported over 4,000 떡볶이 meal kits to Canada. The previous shipment sold out in just a week, prompting the company to accelerate additional production. Currently, exports are mainly focused on Canada, Australia, and Japan, and it is reported that they plan to enter the U.S. market in earnest starting next year. The expected sales for this year are approximately 3.5 billion won.

 

It is said that the beginning of this factory started from a simple love for tteokbokki. The two founders, who were former colleagues, operated a tteokbokki street stall and developed a sauce that could be flavored without artificial seasonings. They then officially entered the tteokbokki manufacturing industry, and now they have grown to the point of receiving love calls from countries around the world.

 

Meanwhile, a representative example of the global spread of tteokbokki is the official inclusion of the word 'tteokbokki' in the Oxford English Dictionary in the UK in December of last year. The dictionary defines it as 'a Korean dish consisting of cylindrical rice cakes coated in a spicy sauce made from gochujang, usually served as a snack (often as street food).' This demonstrates the growing global interest in Korean cuisine.

 

 

There is a company that is experiencing a surge in 떡볶이 exports~ They say the order volume is gradually increasing.

 

Busy expanding ^^ I hope we make more domestically produced foods that export well~

 

When I see our country's food products abroad, I feel quite pleased^^
