The South Korean government has prioritized quarantine negotiations for the export of domestically produced persimmons to China and sweet potatoes to the United States this year. This decision was made after a survey of exporters and producer groups by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Other agricultural and livestock products, including grapes, tangerines, kiwi, sweet potatoes, strawberries, beef, heat-treated beef, pork, heat-treated poultry, and pet food, have also been identified as key items for export quarantine negotiations.
