The Thai Trade Centre in Seoul has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Homeplus, the second largest hypermarket in South Korea, to organise an event to promote Thai agricultural and food products in 142 Homeplus branches from March 1 to 31.
The products included chilled and frozen shrimps, baby octopus and Namdokmai mango.
“We received an overwhelming response from Korean consumers,” DITP Director-General Malee Choklumlerd said. “The event is expected to generate sales worth approximately US$540,000 (19 million baht) for chilled and frozen shrimp, US$ 210,000 (7.6 million baht) for baby octopus and US$171,000 (6 million baht) for Namdokmai mango.”
