Korean sweet persimmons, especially the popular non-astringent varieties such as Fuyu, are highly valued in international markets for their crisp texture, vibrant orange color, and naturally rich sweetness. Grown mainly in the southern regions of Korea, including Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeollanam-do, these persimmons benefit from favorable climate conditions and advanced cultivation techniques. Korean exporters maintain strict quality control standards, including careful grading, sorting, and temperature-controlled packaging, to ensure freshness and extended shelf life during shipment. Major export destinations include Southeast Asia, North America, and the Middle East, where demand continues to grow due to increasing consumer interest in healthy, premium fruits. With strong government support, modern logistics systems, and a reputation for consistent quality, Korean sweet persimmon exports play an important role in Korea’s agricultural trade sector.
