Wando Seaweed Fulvescens Cooperative is a manufacturer of seaweed and processed seafood products located in Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do. We develop and distribute regional specialty seaweed fulvescens (maesaengi) as freeze-dried blocks and frozen products, processed using modern sanitary facilities. Based on mutual cooperation with local fishermen, we are leading the commercialization of convenient and nutritious seaweed products that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons.

"In the middle of December, we started with the determination to make the seaweed fulvescens, harvested with care from the rough sea, a representative healthy food that extends beyond Korea to the world. Going beyond the limitations of traditional seaweed fulvescens, we provide honest products that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere through modern sanitary processing facilities and freeze-drying technology."

Business Areas

• Seaweed processing and manufacturing: We precisely wash and sort fresh seaweed fulvescens harvested from the clean waters of Wando, and process them into sanitary finished products through freeze-drying and flash-freezing processes.
• Seafood distribution and small-package commercialization: Tailored to modern dietary habits, we develop and supply products in small, easy-to-cook packages, such as single-serving freeze-dried seaweed fulvescens blocks, to online malls and large distribution networks.

Products

• Freeze-dried seaweed fulvescens: A single-serving block product that preserves the nutrition and flavor of fresh Wando seaweed fulvescens by washing and then rapidly freeze-drying it; it can be easily consumed by adding it to soups or stews.
• Frozen seaweed fulvescens: A food ingredient product made by cleaning and flash-freezing fresh seaweed fulvescens harvested in the winter season to maintain its freshness, allowing for year-round distribution.

Special Notes

• Freeze-dried block processing technology: We have developed freeze-drying equipment and processing technology that overcomes the disadvantage of seaweed fulvescens being difficult to store for long periods, significantly improving shelf life and convenience.
• Stable supply of local raw materials: Through a cooperative system with fishermen in the Gogeum-myeon and Yaksan-myeon areas of Wando, we receive a stable and transparent supply of high-quality, clean seaweed fulvescens in a fresh state.

💡 A Word from JOBPLOY
Due to the nature of a seafood processing plant, repetitive manual work and hygiene management are required in the washing, drying, and packaging processes. Since the work environment may involve handling water, caution must be taken to prevent slipping and maintain cleanliness. As it is a small cooperative workplace with about 4 people, smooth communication among team members and a diligent work attitude are important, and an effort to understand and adapt to the living environment of the Wando island region is necessary.
