Korean Hydroponic Ginseng Firm and Japanese Dessert Shop Set Up in Hong Kong
Start here
Despite Hong Kong's restaurant sector downturn, South Korean hydroponic ginseng grower Biofx and a Japanese dessert shop with 123 years of history have still chosen Hong Kong as their first overseas base. The report said Biofx founder Jack Kwon signed an agreement with local hydroponics company Farm66 last Thursday to grow premium Korean ginseng in Hong Kong and sell it to local consumers and restaurants. Both enterprises are betting on Hong Kong's dining reputation, but the report did not mention the Japanese dessert shop's specific location, opening date or investment amount, nor did it explain Biofx's planting scale and output arrangements in Hong Kong. The only known progress is the signing and setting up, with subsequent operational details not yet announced.
