[INQ. NO. 1304C24] In Korea, fruit-based traditional teas, including citron tea, jujube tea and plum tea have long been enjoyed as curative beverages. These traditional teas, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, are appealing to foreigners as well due to their nutritional value and sweet taste.
As Korea’s traditional fruit teas are gaining popularity beyond the nation’s borders, a growing number of Korea’s traditional tea makers are briskly targeting overseas markets and some of them have been successfully making inroads into global markets, including the U.S.A., China, Japan and other Asian countries.
In particular, located in Naju, South Jeolla Province, Gavo Farms Co., Ltd. is a traditional Korean beverage manufacturer that has enjoyed growing exports every year.
 Equipped with a fully automated production system and strict quality control center, Gavo Farms manufactures a variety of fruit liquid teas and fruit juice such as honey citron tea, honey jujube tea, honey plum tea, honey aloe tea, honey ginger tea, pear juice and ginseng pear juice.
These fruit teas from Gavo Farms have a great taste and quality because they contain up to 10 percent of high-quality home grown honey, unlike other lesser products. There are three types of packages: 300g, 580g and 1kg. The products are sold in Korea’s high-end department stores and large foreign retailer chains such as Wal-Mart (in China), Carrefour (in Taiwan), H Mart, Mitsukoshi and SOGO (in Taiwan).
Notably, Gavo Farms has been also engaged in apiculture for more than 40 years and it is now involved in developing and manufacturing propolis and royal jelly process foods at its GMP-certified production facilities.
The antibiotic and anti-acidic effects of propolis have been known through academic efforts in Japan, the United States and Europe, and a variety of products have been developed. The main ingredients of propolis include flavonoids, organic acids, fatty acids, inorganic substances, and vitamins and it is now widely known to have antibiotic and anti-acidic effects, promoting health when taken in on a consistent basis.
 As a professional manufacturer of propolis in Korea, Gavo Farms is equipped with the advanced GMP-certified production facilities.
To provide top-quality products, the company not only acquired the ISO9001:2000, but also obtained a GMP certificate in 2007. Furthermore, the company was chosen as both one of the promising exporters and INNO-BIZ Company, and received numerous awards, including the President’s Award and Grand Prize for farmers of South Jeolla Province. Gavo Farms concluded an exporting contract of US$1.4 million (29% of total sales revenues) with major buyers from China, Taiwan, the USA and Japan in 2012 and plans to increase the export volume up to US$2 million in 2013.
