Dongwon Group
Dongwon F&B has signed a memorandum of understanding with Jeju Technopark Yongam Seawater Center for technology development for smart land-based seaweed farming.
Dongwon F&B is a spinoff of Dongwon Industries' food division. It was founded in November 2000 as a company specializing in food products.
Therefore, the South Korean company will use Island lava seawater to develop land-based seaweed cultivation technology and secure high-quality raw materials.
The lava seawater from Jeju Island is "salt groundwater" rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and vanadium. Its temperature remains stable at around 16℃ year-round.
"The two companies plan to develop processed foods using development technologies in the mid to long term and also introduce collaborative products utilizing the brand of the Yongam Seawater Center," a Dongwon F&B official detailed.
Dongwon Industries was founded in April 1969 to explore the sea, a rich repository of food resources. Since its establishment, it has been leading Korea's fishing industry, sailing across the five oceans, and contributing to food culture development by providing high-quality seafood products.
Dongwon F&B has achieved the largest market share in the seaweed market through differentiated packaging technology and high-quality raw materials.
