South Korea‘s food exports to the United States are expected to reach $1 billion for the first time this year, owing to their brisk advances into ethnic markets, the Korea Agro-fisheries and Food Trade Corp.’s branch said.

Most notable among the top 30 export items are ramen, ginseng, mixed seasonings and gochujang, or red pepper paste.
