Press Release Summary: Demand for organic food in South Korea is thriving on the back of consumers perceiving organic food as a safer and healthier option to regular food.
Press Release Body: According to our new research report, “South Korean Food and Drinks Market: Emerging Opportunities”, the South Korean organic food market, including fresh produce, field crops and processed organic foods, has shown strong growth in the past few years, mainly driven by rising per capita income and growing health awareness, and is forecasted to continue to grow in future.
Food consumption trends indicate that South Koreans are moving away from their traditional diet towards a more western style. They are opting for high value and quality food products as they are becoming more health conscious and now prefer food with an organic label on it.
Besides the rising health concerns, the report states, South Korean consumers are willing to pay little extra for good taste. As a result, demand for organic fruits and vegetables have been on a high trajectory growth in the country. Other favorite organic food products include organic jams, pasta, flour, bottled water and even candies. These can now be found on the shelves of almost every supermarket, discount store and department store in the country.
