Globalization of Korean Food Promotion Institute
[edit]
The goal of globalization is to allow people around the world to have a taste of Korean cuisine and to make an improvement.[2] By broadening the Korean food industries in local and overseas would enhance the different industries on the aspect of the business, such as food, tourism, and farming. These enhancements would show the excellence of Korea by globalizing its cuisine around the world.[2]
Branding
[edit]For the Korean Food brand, it has shown the appreciation for the people and the environment, and there is a connection between them.[2] The definition behind its brand is that there is a strong relationship between the people as well as the natural environment, and they would live together in peace. Additionally, the Korean Food brand allows the building of the "business models"[2], the instruction for different ways of communication, and a continued following of the goal of the Korean Food Brand would boost the value of its brand. [2]
The logo of the Korean Food Foundation has shown two aspects of the meanings. Firstly, it represents the harmony of the people and the natural environment and secondly, the "trigrams: geon, gon gam and ri”[2] shows spirits of keeping up with the time. The trigrams also denote "air, water, earth, and fire," and it has shown a representation of the harmony environment in Korea. The meaning behind the trigrams also represent characteristics of Korean cuisine.[2]
The colors of the logo represent different Korean Food products that contain various ingredients in the natural environment, and those colors used are all the distinctive Korean color. The colors used help to brighten up the image brand and look more pleasant, and it has shown the vibrant Korean Food in nature.[2]
Planning
[edit]Nowadays, lots of Korean restaurants are hoping to expand its businesses in overseas for publicizing of Korean food. [5]The opportunities for broadening its business around the world is the only way for agricultural and fishing industries to prosper and to efficiently operate. With the healthy ingredients used in Korean cuisine, it has gained an increasing acceptance from the people in foreign countries as well as the global market. Those ingredients for making the Korean Food are usually shipped to the East Asian markets, and the reason is that the people in the East Asian countries have the same taste of the food as well as the personal backgrounds which allows the convenient and strong marketing of the Korean Food.[5] Those entrepreneurs based in Korean are searching for the global market that ranges from Asian regions to the Eastern regions. The Korean government would collaborate with privately held companies to explore as many global markets as possible, and the international food exhibition gives those Korean companies opportunities to introduce their unique food products. In the exportation process, the Korean government also take part in the overall packaging of Korean food products to meet the standards of the customs clearing process.[5]
The Korean government collaborates with Korean trading companies as well as those privately listed companies with the aim of increasing exportation of the Korean food products.[5] Nowadays, many overseas markets have little focus on traditional Korean food products and therefore, extensive advertising is required.[5] However, some Korean food corporations are not able to achieve it. To enter the global market, those corporations have to understand Korea and its food products. The only way of efficient publicizing Korean cuisine worldwide is to make enhancements on the food products and ensure the quality of the food meets the specific standard. [5]
