Ramen makers cut prices selectively as Shin Ramyun, Buldak and Jin Ramen excluded
Major South Korean ramen makers including Nongshim, Samyang Foods and Ottogi will cut prices on some products from next month, industry officials say. The cuts exclude flagship brands such as Nongshim’s Shin Ramyun, Samyang’s Buldak Bokkeum Myun and Ottogi’s Jin Ramen. Companies say the moves aim to support price stability, but critics say the impact will be limited because high-recognition, high-sales products were left out.

K-food push drives Korean foodmakers to seek growth overseas
South Korean food companies are seeking growth abroad as a prolonged domestic slowdown weighs on sales. K-food items such as instant noodles, dumplings and snacks are leading the expansion. Samyang Foods’ exports account for about 80 percent of sales, supported by the global popularity of its Buldak series. CJ CheilJedang, Orion and Dongwon F&B are also relying on overseas subsidiaries to cushion weak demand at home and manage earnings volatility.
