Lanic Korea, led by CEO Oh Se-Hyun, recently visited Cambodia with a delegation to further discussions on establishing a Jeju Black Pig farm. The task force, comprising seven members, includes representatives from Jeju's government, farming sector, and key industry leaders. Among them are officials from Jeju’s Eco-friendly Livestock Policy Division, Chairman Go Kwon-jin of the Jeju Pig Farmers' Cooperative, and CEO Oh Young-ik of Gilgal Agricultural Cooperative Corporation. Local support is provided by the C&K Korean Language Study Center, headed by CEO Kim Young-soo, who will assist with operational efforts on the ground.
This visit follows the Jeju-Phnom Penh practical exchange agreement signed on June 12, 2024, under the ASEAN+ policy initiative, which promotes collaboration between Jeju and Cambodia. The foundation of the project was set during a meeting between Jeju Governor Oh Young-hoon and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, where both leaders expressed interest in joint investment and cooperation.
During the visit, the task force met with Cambodian officials and conducted on-site assessments to evaluate the feasibility and sustainability of the proposed farm. This initiative seeks to promote sustainable agricultural practices and strengthen economic ties between Jeju and Cambodia.
