The Korea Rice Processed Foods Association's Rice Processed Foods Export Council held a marketing and promotional event for processed rice foods in Germany, resulting in 120,000 euros worth of exports. The event in Frankfurt and eight other cities attracted attention to various Korean rice products such as frozen tteokbokki and gimbap, with the latter becoming particularly popular. This successful event has led to increased interest in Korean rice processed foods in Germany and neighboring countries, prompting plans for further expansion into the European market.
