South Korea Meat Industry Trends and Drivers:

The South Korean meat market is cooking and more and more consumers are favoring quality over quantity, wanting the best cuts. Diners are flocking to tenderness, flavor, and well-marbled beef, especially their local Hanwoo, which is widely regarded as a delicacy in South Korea with a distinct flavor and mouthfeel. This increased excitement for premium meats illustrates how folks want quality dining experiences, whether at home or in an upscale restaurant. Additionally, shoppers want to be reassured of their meats’ safety and origins, preferring meats from local farmers that share their values of animal welfare and traditional farming methods. Butchers and retailers are fast-forwarding to premium beef cuts, allowing customers to trust them and their story in the sustainable practices they follow up to sales. The shift in the high-end premium local meats market is only getting hotter and will take it to new realms of culinary excellence and taste.

Local sourcing is thriving these days with South Koreans reconnecting to their agricultural roots through locally sourced and delicious food options. Farmers may raise pork, or chicken, or beef, and in some cases, they raise animals that are free-range or organic—great for the health-conscious consumers and environmentally aware shoppers. Farmers have understandably become excited about local sourcing with supermarkets, online and offline buying opportunities, and working with different organizations to create trust and pride in our meat production framework. Many chefs are incorporating locally sourced cuts into Korean BBQ food or stews where they maintain the traditions of the meat yet innovatively infuse creative touches that excite foodies. With a focus on local sourcing, South Koreans are further reducing their reliance on imported meat and working to support rural areas of the country with fresh local and quality supply chains. As South Koreans continue to enjoy the higher quality of meat products, as well as the stories of how their meat was produced locally, the market will continue to flourish and grow. When South Koreans meat the narrative of supporting their local economies, as well as higher quality options that fulfill their needs, that is a win-win situation, for both their bodies and improving the local economy.
