This batch of China-made kimchi produced by Jingangshan will soon enter South Korea, which imports around 250-1,000 tons of kimchi from China each year.

At the moment, most of the imported product is distributed to restaurants, not private houses, according to Ha Jaeho, general director at the World Kimchi Institute. "It means that most families produce their own kimchi and consume kimchi produced in Korea. Restaurants stress the importance of price, so they want to buy the cheaper ones."

Ha said South Korean consumers have concerns about the food safety conditions in China. But according to the owner of Jingangshan Food Co, Zhao Yongzhe, Chinese kimchi has lived up to international standards.

"Chinese regulations on kimchi production are stricter than in South Korea and other European nations, especially in bacteria inspection and the use of additives," said Zhao.

The company aims to become the world's largest kimchi factory, exporting the popular food to not only South Korea, but globally.
