South Korea did not participate in the formulation of the standards. In 2001, South Korea applied to relevant agencies to formulate international standards for Korean kimchi. However, because most of Korean kimchi is imported from China, and the export volume is very small, the price of Korean kimchi is very expensive, so the previous international standards for kimchi were set up in vain. This time the South Korean government specifically issued a statement saying: China’s international standards for kimchi do not apply to Korean kimchi. It is probably because it wants to compete with China again.

99% of South Korea’s kimchi is imported from China. Many Korean housewives do not know how to make kimchi themselves and buy Chinese kimchi in the market. Korean cabbage is very expensive. A big cabbage costs about RMB 60. my country, Sichuan, Liaoning, and Jilin in Northeast China are all regions with developed kimchi industries. There are nearly 100 kimchi factories, and many factories produce kimchi. Most of them are supplied to various restaurants and businesses in Korea. Some Korean media once said. Korean kimchi is all imported from China, which is a shame for Korean kimchi. ?

Korean kimchi was spread from China during the Tang Dynasty. There are records in ancient books that when Xue Rengui was staying in Goguryeo, Sichuan soldiers brought Chinese kimchi technology to the Korean Peninsula. Later, kimchi also began to slowly become popular among Goguryeo nobles, and then slowly spread to the people. South Korea based on its own The taste of Chinese kimchi has been improved, and it has gradually become the current Korean kimchi. Korea does not have as rich a variety of vegetables as our country. Sichuan kimchi includes cabbage, Chinese cabbage, white radish, carrot, cucumber, garlic, etc., so they can only use Chinese cabbage to make kimchi.

So if you want to eat kimchi, you don’t need to import it from South Korea. You can just buy it online. We can buy Sichuan kimchi or Korean kimchi produced in my country. In the past few years, my country has exported an average of about 280,000 tons of kimchi to South Korea every year. Not only is the price very affordable, but the taste is also very good, and it is very popular among Koreans. ?
