When it comes to processed green tea leaves food products, it is easy to think of tea because it is most popular and has been loved for a long time. Recently, however, various processed products made with green tea leaves have been produced. One of them is ‘jam’. Green tea jam is characterized by a combination of sweet and bitter flavors, and is consumed in a variety of ways such as a latte made by melting it in milk. DODAM, an agricultural company located in Boseong, Jeollanam-do, developed green tea jam early on and is active in overseas markets with the jam products made from fresh Korean agricultural products. #Containing a Mother’s Heart Founded in 2016, DODAM currently produces more than 30 types of jam products, led by green tea jam. It has established its own brand ‘MAMAM’, and is selling strawberry jam, apple jam, blueberry jam, and black tea chocolate jam. The brand name MAMAM means ‘a mother’s heart’. It conveys the company’s aspirations to make healthy products, and for this purpose, DODAM has been adhering to its ‘free of 5’ strategy. Hence, DODAM’s products could eliminate concerns about sugar, additives, preservatives, flavoring agents, and pigments. Particularly, its flagship product, MATCHA MILK JAM, contains oligosaccharide and powdered milk to eliminate the bitter taste of green tea, but unlike products in market, it does not contain any palm oil. CEO Jeong Soon-oh #A Farmer Thinks of a Jam The biggest strength of DODAM products is the high content of main ingredients. While other fruit jam products in market have a main ingredient ratio of approximately 30% to 50%, the main ingredient ratio for DODAM’s products is up to 70%. It is based on the belief that a good product should contain main ingredients predominantly more than the other ingredients. In fact, 235 g of DODAM’s strawberry jam contains 21 Korean strawberries, and the blueberry jam (235 g) contains 330 blueberries. This ratio applies to other fruit jam products as well. CEO Jeong Soon-oh’s being a farmer himself contributed to the fact DODAM was able to pay attention to the raw ingredients. DODAM has now grown into a proper agri-food company, but farming was the reason why CEO Jeong, who lived away from home, returned to Boseong, his hometown. It was to be of help to the farming that had been passed down from generation to generation. CEO Jeong said, “I started my business with green tea jam and kiwi jam, but since we processed seasonal produce, the number of products increased to about 30.” #Confidence in Exporting Having Overcome Obstacles DODAM was able to export its products overseas thanks to the help of the Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation (aT) because the company started its first export by participating in the Dubai GULFOOD held in February 2017. In 2018, with the acquisition of Halal certification, DODAM’s export took off and accelerated. As DODAM’s products were moved from a non-Halal certified section to a Halal-certified section, Muslims began purchasing the products. Also, the company achieved its highest performance of USD 800,000. Recently, orders have plunged to 95% due to COVID-19 and the disruption in logistics. However, as the competitiveness of the product itself is unchanged, exports are expected to be normalized if internal and external conditions stabilize. New products using perilla seeds are in development since there is a demand for such products in Japan, which will prove effective in securing the market. CEO Jeong said, “We will compete fairly with quality rather than relying on marketing to promote Korean jam and fresh agricultural products to many overseas consumers.” DODAM Website : https://dodamfarm.com Telephone : +82-61-858-2070 Fax : +82-61-858-2090 Email : dodamfarmer@naver.com
