대중국 수출 쌀의 가격경쟁력과 문제점 해결 사례

Since the first exportation of Korean rice to China in 2016, price competitiveness and problems during circulation in China have been traced. In the Chinese rice market, the price of the medium- and short grain milled rice imported from Japan and Taiwan was very high compared to that of Chinese rice, and two to three times higher than that of rice brand imported from Korea. So we concluded that the potential of the Korean rice to export to China is very high if the quality control is secured. It is believed that if the Korean rice was milled up to the whiteness greater than 40 and an embryo retention rate less than 3 % in summer and 5 % in winter, China consumers’ preference on Korean milled rice will increase. In order to prevent the vacuum loosening in the vacuum-packaged Korean rice, some suitable filling materials between the rice packages were needed, and the double sealing treatment was necessary at the time of packaging, with the heat treatment of 1 to 1.5 seconds at 130 to 150℃, as well as the vacuum pressure of 270 to 300 mmHg. It is also important to equip a handle on top of the package in order to provide the consumer’s carriage convenience when moving. For fumigation hydrogen phosphide was better than methyl bromide. For the rice exportation to the southern part of China, it is recommended to adjust the moisture content less than 13% considering that it is hot and humid.
