(Jeju=Yonhap News) Reporter Jeon Ji-hye = Jeju Island's newly cultivated varieties of mandarin oranges, such as "Gaeulhyang" and "Dalcomi," are about to begin full-scale shipment.
The Jeju Agricultural Technology Institute announced on the 19th that it is working to establish a distribution base to ensure stable market settlement in preparation for the full-scale shipment of the new varieties of mandarin oranges.
The new varieties include six types: Gaeulhyang, Dalcomi, Sulhyang, Urihyang, Matnabong, and Red Star. They are evaluated to have superior quality competitiveness with higher sugar content and lower acidity compared to existing varieties.
These varieties began experimental cultivation in 2022 on 8.6 hectares of land in 46 farms on the island. Last year, 15 farms shipped 21.4 tons of four varieties for the first time.
The shipment is centralized through the Jeju Citrus Cooperative, and the high quality has been recognized, with the per-kilogram price for farmers being 2 times higher than that of the existing Hwangjinhyang, ranging from 6,700 to 8,800 won, confirming its market competitiveness.
This year, the number of farms shipping the new varieties is expected to increase to 41, with the shipment volume exceeding 60 tons.
The shipment will include five varieties: Gaeulhyang, Dalcomi, Sulhyang, Urihyang, and Red Star.
The main varieties will be four, including Gaeulhyang, while Red Star will be shipped in small quantities as a trial since it is the first time it has borne fruit in one farm.
Matnabong, which is being considered for open-field cultivation, aims for its first shipment in 2026.
To stabilize the shipment, the Agricultural Technology Institute plans to strengthen on-site support, including cultivation technology support, quality management based on sugar and acid content analysis, and quantity prediction by variety, while expanding distribution, sales, and promotional activities to increase consumer awareness.
A workshop to establish shipment sources and strategies by variety will be held on the 29th at the Jeju Agricultural Technology Institute's main hall.
The workshop will be attended by about 60 people, including experimental cultivation farmers and distribution company officials, and will include sharing of sales cases and market reactions to the new varieties of mandarin oranges, analysis of consumption trends and marketing strategy proposals, and comprehensive discussions.
