Tongyeong, South Korea, the largest oyster producing area in the country, has seen a surge in oyster export value in 2021, reaching a nearly 10-year high of 73.4 million US dollars. The city, located by the sea and known for its beautiful scenery and oyster processing plants, produces over 70% of South Korea's oysters.
