The South Korean noodle products were sold in 143 nations, or the largest ever figure, last year.
The country exported US$862 million worth of noodles, including instant noodles, or"ramyeon" in Korean, and udon noodles, last year, up 12 per cent from a year earlier, according to the data from the Korea Customs Service.
By volume, outbound shipment of noodles grew 10.3 per cent on-year to 260,000 tonnes in 2022, also a record figure. South Korea was the world's second-largest exporter of noodles last year following China that sold 460,000 tonnes of the products, the data showed. The Covid-19 pandemic also brought up the demand for ready-to-eat food products around the world. Among South Korean noodle exports, ramyeon was the No. 1 export item with US$765 million in sales last year, up 13.5 per cent from a year earlier.
