The current size, characteristics. and channels of distribution of the offshore export (non North American) market for ginseng products are described. The apparent size of the worlds export market for ginseng products in 1987 is 3,363 tonnes. The major export markets for ginseng are Hong Kong (1,972.4 tonnes) and Japan (540.9 tonnes). The volume of ginseng imported into Hong Kong has doubled over the past five years from 976.3 tonnes in 1983 to 1,972.4 tonnes in 1987. This increase is reflective of an expanding Chinese market. In terms of products forms, the toast majority of ginseng imported into China is in root form, while Japan imports both red and white ginseng as well as ginseng beverages and medical products. Hong Kong is the destination of over 86f; of the volume of North American ginseng exported between 1983 and 1987.

Today, producers of ginseng spray prohibited fertilizers or use excessive amount of fertilizers whereas distributers either claim that they are selling domestic ginseng when in fact they are selling imported ginseng, cheat on the age or weight of ginseng, or mix domestic and imported ginseng. In terms of quality in comparison with foreign ginseng, 90% of the people surveyed responded that domestic ginseng is more efficacious. When asked whether they would purchase foreign ginseng products when they become available in the market, only one of the respondents responded that he or she would purchase foreign ginseng whereas 50 respondents or 81% of the total surveyed responded that they wouldn't purchase foreign ginseng. About half of the respondents answered that when Chinese red ginseng, ginseng, or wild ginseng products cultivated with harmful fertilizers become available in the market, they would either reconsider purchasing ginseng products or stop purchasing ginseng products all together. In order to develop the ginseng industry 20 respondents (25%) chose the establishment of the standards, 33 respondents (42%) chose marking the place of origin, 15 respondents (19%) quality improvement, 7 respondents (9%) research on the efficacy, and 4 respondents (5%) said improvement on the storage methods as the important factors of the ginseng industry. Considering the fact that 77% of the respondents selected either the standardization or marking of the place of origin, the consumers seem to be demanding reliability in the distribution of ginseng products. Therefore, those people who work in the industry such as the producers, distributors and others should have a sense of mission to develop ginseng, which is a gift from God, and do their best to produce and distribute ginseng products.

This study was conducted to investigate the contents of residual solvents and mineral components(11 kinds) in ginseng extracts with different extracting conditions(5 types) and commercial ginseng extract products(domestic, imported). Fine root was extracted with solution having various ethanol concentration after hexane treatment. Among 5 type extracts, residual solvent(hexane) was detected ginseng extracts treated ethanol mixed with hexane. But extracts that dried after soaked in hexane wasn't detected hexane. Mineral components(Al, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn) were detected in fine root and 5 types of extracts. The contents of mineral components between fine root and extracts with various extracting conditions were similar, however, extracts that dried after soaked in hexane showed the lower amount in Al, Fe, Pb than the others. In comparison with commercial ginseng ex-tract products(domestic, imported), the distribution pattern of mineral was similar but the contents were a little different.

Recent trend of ginseng (p. ginseng) trade in Japan was analyzed. From 1984 white ginseng import increased continuously to 240% while export of red ginseng decreased to 29%. Red ginseng import increased until 1990 and decreased thereafter, resulting in 12% of total import ginseng in 1993 from 47% in 1990. During five years (1989∼1993) white ginseng import from Korea decreased from 44% to 14% of total white ginseng imported while import from China increased. Red ginseng import from China ranged 97 to l00% of total red ginseng and little change was shown during five years. Price of Korean ginseng was higher than that of China by 2.2 times for white and 6.6 times for red. The continuous decrease of Chinese ginseng price might affect import trend. Export price of red ginseng increased continuously and was higher than that of Korean red ginseng (1.95 times) and much higher than import price (20 times in 1993).

Lately, the Korean ginseng was confronted with the sale crisis in world markets from the various circumstance. One of important difficulties is overspreading of Korean ginseng imitative in foreign markets. In Korean markets also, chinese ginseng was imported illegally and manufactured as Korean ginseng, which was resulted in the damage of Korean ginseng brand. The most essential problem is misunderstanding of Korean ginseng's information in the foreigner. In this paper, we developed a genuine guarantee system to identify the true Korean ginseng through internet and geographic cording system of Korean ginseng products. This system can be applied to the enforcement of Korean ginseng sale to international markets.

Ginseng, a Korean native herb, has been a symbol of mystic cure-all which provides longevity benefits throughout Korean history. According to Chinese historical records, a major source of wild ginseng has been described as Korean peninsula, which is the most suitable ginseng production area, and the Manchu region near Mt. Baekdu and the Maritime Province. Since Tang dynasty period (618-917 CE), Chinese has also called ginseng as "Goryeo Ginseng", which is named after "Goguryeo" (37 BCE-668 CE), an ancient kingdom of Korea, from which they mainly imported the herb as the region was famous for its high quality of ginseng. To date, it refers to Korean ginseng. This study compares the medicinal properties of ginseng as stated in the ancient Korean medical books with the major Korean historical records regarding the usage of ginseng and its symbolism of longevity in everyday life. By contrasting these findings, we tried to figure out how the actual medicinal properties of ginseng and the anticipation of longevity are related. It was confirmed that the expectations about longevity were widely applied to everyday life. In addition, the study investigates the various usage of ginseng as a motive for decorative patterns and as an ingredient for daily products including snacks, health drinks, various types of food, clothing patterns, and so on. Finally, the usage of ginseng ingredients in the cosmetic products fulfilled the desire of Korean people to purchase, showing the aesthetic recognition and medicinal understandings about the herb. These findings suggest that ginseng is an important medicinal agent that not only symbolizes longevity and good health but also has a great influence on the lives of Koreans.

인삼 한 뿌리 생산하지 않는 홍콩은 국제 인삼시장의 중심지 역할을 하고 있다. 전 세계 인삼 수출의 70% 이상을 취급하면서 또한 이를 주변 국가로 재 수출하여 국가의 부를 창출하여 왔다. 이러한 홍콩 국제 인삼시장에서 한국산 고려인삼의 시장 점유율 하락으로 고려인삼의 존재가 점점 희박해지고 있다. 이에 홍콩 국제 인삼시장에서 한국산 고려 인삼과 다른 나라 인삼의 수입 현황을 분석하였다. 한국산 고려인삼이 다른 나라 삼에 비해 비싸게 팔리는 것으로 파악하였다. 그리고 홍콩 인삼 수입수요 분석에서는 한국산 고려인삼의 수입물량과 수입가격 변수가 홍콩 국제 인삼시장에서 다른 나라 인삼수입에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되어 졌다. 이는 한국산 고려인삼이 홍콩 국제 인삼시장에서 중요한 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 중요한 역할 에 비해 홍콩으로 한국산 고려인삼 수출 물량의 감소는 안타까운 일이다. 홍콩 국제 인삼시장으로 한국산 고려인삼의 수출 확대에 다시 한번 우리 모두 지혜를 모아야 할 때이다. 분석 결과처럼 한국산 고려인삼의 수출가격이 중요한 변수이므로 다양한 가격 전략에 따른 수출 마케팅 전략이 수립 되어야 한다. 더 나아가 적극적인 수출 마케팅 전략으로 고려인삼의 우수성을 꾸준히 홍보하며 객관적인 효능 연구 자료도 발표하여야 한다. 인삼 한 뿌리 생산하지 않는 홍콩이 국제 인삼시장의 물류 중심지이고 인삼 한 뿌리 생산하지 않은 스위스 제약회사 파마톤(지금은 독일 베링게 인겔하임) 의 연간 인삼제품 세계 수출액이 적어도 1억불 이상으로 고려인삼 종주국인 우리나라 인삼 총 수출액보다 많음을 다시 한번 생각해야겠다. 그리고 향후 WTO/DDA 협상이나 FTA 협상에 따른 험난한 파고에 우리 민족의 유산인 고려인삼을 어떻게 지켜 나갈 것인가를 우리 인삼인들이 모두 함께 고민해야할 문제이다.
