“After the resumption of okra exports to Japan last year, we are opening yet another market access for our okra, this time with the huge Korean food market," Agriculture Secretary William Dar said in a previous statement. "The Philippine government has been requesting market access of okra to Korea since 2014 and finally, it was granted," Dar said."This is a milestone for us considering we are still in the midst of the global pandemic.”
