This study shed light on the status of Korean Kimchi industry in overseas markets and presented methods for promoting Kimchi industry of GwangjuㆍJeonnam metropolitan city and stimulating the export of Kimchi produced in GwangjuㆍJeonnam, a city that has come to the fore as the center of Kimchi industry, which aimed to explore the ways of ratcheting up competitiveness of Kimchi industry in the global market as Kimchi has become more likely to be globalized amid the recent “Korea Trend” boom and the growing consumption of fermented food.
