Specializing in premium organic citrus-based products, particularly yuzu (yuja), the company blends traditional farming practices with modern processing technologies to offer clean-label, minimally processed food products for both domestic and international markets.

Core Business

The core focus of Edenfood Farmer Association is the cultivation, processing, and export of high-quality, organic citrus ingredients and products. As a farmer-owned cooperative, the organization ensures traceability from farm to shelf, maintaining full control over the agricultural practices, harvesting, and processing stages.

Edenfood supplies its products primarily to health-conscious consumers, specialty food retailers, beverage manufacturers, and culinary professionals seeking authentic Korean citrus profiles, particularly the regionally celebrated Goheung yuzu.

Specialization and USP

Edenfood’s core strength lies in its direct integration with local Goheung citrus farms, which gives it a unique edge in maintaining purity, freshness, and transparency in its supply chain. Its USPs include:
