Korean Laver export has reached over 500 million US dollars in 2017 and gained a reputation as “A semi-conductor of fishing industry”. To accelerate overwhelming growth momentum of laver business, Laver Fisheries Cooperative (“Laver Suhyup”), which is specialized in laver business, has been established in April 2018 in order to develop laver business more aggressively and systemically as one of the governmental strategies.

Seocheon’s clean water in Chungnam is proud of being the oldest and the best laver farming area with history of over 550 years out of 3 major laver farming areas in Korea. Natural environment of west coast in Seocheon is a perfect condition to grow laver and other seaweeds with wide tidal area, optimal wave, smooth tidal current, cold and dry north-west wind and low temperature during the winter season. As the most competitive quality and tastes of Chungnam Laver in Korea gets more reputation and attention from the global consumers, our Suhyup will contribute “Chungnam Laver” to become a “Mecca of Laver Business” by utilizing all the know-hows and specialties piled up throughout the long history.

As laver business is currently getting more spotlighted as a “Well-being Food” and dramatically growing in the world market, “Chungnam Laver Suhyup” will endeavor to enhance industrial infrastructure of Laver business with strategic supports from the government and consequently to make our suhyup the most competitive organization captivating world consumers’ appetites. Thank you very much!
