If you are considering seafood trade with Korea, I would like to recommend a website. While there are many seafood-related websites in Korea, I will introduce the site most commonly used by distribution companies and manufacturers.
You can obtain the following information here. Additionally, you can directly contact them to make deals, or you may request assistance from Union Forsea.
– Photos of the seafood you wish to import, along with information about the manufacturer and distributor
– Information about manufacturers and distributors who can import your products
There are more community posts on the Korean version of the website than on the English version. If someone in your company speaks Korean, I recommend obtaining information from the Korean website.
