There was an official ceremony to commemorate the shipment of agro-products heading for Los Angles, U.S. in preparation for the 2019 LA Cconma USA, held for the second time this year following the promotional event opened in the eastern part of the United States.

The crops harvested in Pyeongchang farmland will be introduced for sale to the visitors at this 10-day marketing fair which starts from Dec. 20-29, both online and offline.

Locally grown and processed foods such as Pollack, salted seafood, buckwheat, steamed bun with red bean paste filling, pickled vegetables and traditionally made sauce, valued at over USD 38,387 will be supplied to the Cconma USA, the largest e-commerce Korean market in the United States reaching USD 6 million in sales annually since its initiation in 2009.

“Starting from the promotional campaign in New Jersey, we’re now making huge progress in marketing, letting Americans taste high quality, fresh food produced in Pyeongchang. We’re planning to expand the areas to be marketed all across the United States next year, through which consumers in America learn more of locally harvested crops in Pyeongchang.”, said an official from Pyeongchang Educational Research Center.
