Abstract

In Korea, a sugar company was first established at Pyongyang in 1920. But the real sugar industry began in 1953 when CJ Cheiljedang produced sugar at its Busan plant. Currently, three companies, CJ Cheiljedang, Samyang Corp., and TS Corp. are participating in the sugar industry. Sugar production increased from 647 tons in 1953 to 1,423 thousand tons in 2019. This means that the sugar industry has been grown by 2,200 times compared to 1953. Before 1953, all sugar consumed in Korea was imported, but now about 300 thousand tons, a 20 percent of sugar produced annually is exported. Population increase, economic growth, and food industry development contributed to the growth of sugar industry. However, recently the sugar industry has been stagnated due to the decrease of population and economic growth rate, and campaign of sugars and calories reduction. To overcome it, the continued development of various sugar application using emerging biotechnology is needed.
