Foodpolis

FOODPOLIS is a new industrial cluster being built in Korea focused on global agri-food exports and research and development. The complex houses businesses, research institutes, and public organizations. Established by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA), our primary objective is to help build Korea’s food industry by encouraging shared growth between large and small enterprises and the agricultural sector. We hope to foster intense collaboration, sparking knowledge sharing and innovation. Companies within the industrial complex benefit from a range of incentives, various R&D support centers, and programs ranging from food functionality evaluation to food quality and packaging. Located near Iksan city on Korea’s west coast on a total area of just over 3.5 million square meters of land, the cluster provides a clear strategic advantage for companies eyeing the Asian food market. It’s the perfect export platform. FOODPOLIS will increase the value of the food industry overall by creating a more advanced industrial structure and enhancing global competence and competitiveness. With R&D firmly at the center, FOODPOLIS will enable businesses to scale up quickly and provide consumers in the region with top quality foods that are certified as safe and delicious. This will create a virtuous circle of economic activity that not only drives growth and profits for corporations, but also supplies increasing household incomes and promotes the local economy. It's our objective to: Increase corporate competitiveness in global food markets Speed up agricultural growth and profitability Increase in agri-food exports Promote local economic growth
