The Salt Industry Promotion Research Center of the National Institute of Fisheries Quality Management met with approximately 38,000 visitors by operating a Korean sea salt traceability exhibition at the '2026 Jeonnam Gwangju World Kimbap & Salt Festival,' held at the Yeosu Expo Convention Center from Oct. 9 to 11.
The Salt Industry Promotion Research Center set up the exhibition hall with the theme 'Korean Sea Salt, Best When Pressed!' at this festival, which was linked to the Yeosu World Island Expo.
The exhibition hall operated with a total of 10 programs across two areas: the exhibition/experience zone and the hands-on/participation zone.
Visitors compared the mineral content of domestic and foreign Korean sea salt and examined the Excellent Korean Sea Salt certification system and products.
Additionally, visitors experienced the Korean sea salt production process through a salt farm VR tour and model display, and participated in an activity where they confirmed traceability information, such as the producer's details, by scanning the traceability label and QR code.
