We are planning to conduct this retail-targeted cheese tour event, collaborating with
Hyundai Green Food (HGF). We and HGF selected 6 brands – Joseph Farms, Coolhaus,
Sierra Nevada, Copper Cow Coffee, Glen Oaks Farms, Go Fit Pro – and asked for the
spec/sell sheets and price to be sent to HarbyrCo. HGF will order regular shipments and
conduct the test-market promotion under the theme of California Cheese Weeks at 4
selected stores – Apgujeong, Samsung, Pangyo, and Bundang – with highest traffic and
sales in Hyundai Department Stores. Hyundai Department Stores is a leading, trend-
setting department store chain with 22 stores nationwide and have high-end groceries in
the basement of the stores.
We are executing this promotion in October and will need to receive 1
st
shipments for
quarantine by the 1
st
week of August. We are co-working with Leo, a market rep of
HarbyrCo.

Culinary Competition
We had a meeting with Chungkang Univ. to discuss the sponsorship program for next
semester and recipe contest in September. Regarding the sponsorship program in 1
st
semester of 2017, from March to June, the curriculum of French Cuisine used CA cheese
products and 150 student-chefs learned the character of quality products in California.
Next semester, from August to November, we proposed 2 curriculums including Italian
Cuisine and offered the teaching plan in which students would use and learn about CA
dairy products.
A recipe competition will be held in the mid of September. We are under discussion to
develop the format for student-chefs to submit their recipes using CA dairy products.
