KOREAN DELAGATION VISITS Philadelphia Macaroni PLANT.
Kristie Park, a project manager with the Food Export Association of the Midwest, escorted a group of pasta buyers representing four South Korean food companies through various sites of the North Dakota flour and pasta industries.
The tour included stops at the North Dakota Mill and the Philadelphia Macaroni Company.
South Korea imports 100 percent of its pasta. According to Park, the purpose of the trip was to encourage them to shift more of their pasta purchases from competing countries to the U.S.
Most important to Korean buyers are quality and price, Park said, claiming the quality of North Dakota pastas are "the same as or a little bit superior" to the Italian pastas. | |
