  • ATO Seoul Promotes U.S. Seafood

    ATO Seoul partnered with the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) and Food Export USA Northeast to organize a U.S. Pavilion at the 19th Busan International Seafood & Fisheries Expo 2021, November 3 – 5. ATO Seoul, ASMI, and Food Export Northeast provided information on U.S. seafood products to Korean buyers, provided supplier directories, and exhibited samples. The event generated a number of serious trade leads from Korean seafood importers interested in a range of U.S. fishery products. South Korea is the United States fourth largest export market for fishery products. U.S. seafood exports to Korea totaled $459 million in 2020. Alaska pollack surimi, frozen Alaska pollack fish, flat fish, live lobster, livers/roes/milt of Alaska pollack, cod, fish fins/heads/tails/maws/other edible fish offal, frozen squid, live hagfish, and livers/roes/milt of fish other than Alaska pollack were the top ten U.S. seafood exports to Korea.
