Korean ice cream exports to Vietnam surge

HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): South Korea’s exports of ice cream to Vietnam jumped 30% in 2019 from a year earlier on the back of the growing popularity of Korean culture in Southeast Asia, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) reported late last week.

Outbound shipments of ice cream to Vietnam reached US$7 million in 2019, rising sharply from $5.3 million in 2018, according to KOTRA, adding that South Korea took up 35.6 per cent of Vietnam's ice cream imports last year.
