Asparagus imports get diversified with growing demand in South Korea

Thailand, Peru, and the United States still hold the largest asparagus market in South Korea. Its exports in 2019 have now exceeded the value in 2012. The US, a country that imported the least in 2012, even increased its export value throughout the year in 2019. The growing demand in domestic market has prompted South Korea to start seeing other countries, such as Mexico and Chile to expand their supply of asparagus.
