| Item Identity | Gim is not a single species but a commodity encompassing various edible gim species and varieties; therefore, the Species, Variety, and Lineage must be linked to an actual Lot. The National Institute of Fisheries Science presents five types of gim that can be used as domestic food ingredients. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Key role | It is a representative seafood product that handles both domestic consumption and export by adding high value to farmed raw seaweed into dried laver, roasted laver, seasoned laver, snacks, and powder. |
| Harvesting principle | Classify the farm, species, variety, seed lot, spat collection date, rearing area, collection order, collection date, raw material weight, color, foreign matter, moisture, and quality into a Lot. |
| Product separation | Separate seeds → cultivation nets → wet seaweed → dried seaweed → roasted seaweed → seasoned seaweed → seaweed snacks, seaweed powder, and complex processed products into independent products. |
| Separation of similar items | For *Chamgim*, *Bangsamunigim*, *Itbadidolgim*, *Momunuidolgim*, and *Dunggeundolgim*, the Species Entity is separated, while product names such as *Gopchanggim* are managed as Product Aliases after verifying the Species and varieties. |
| domestic production | The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced in August 2026 that the domestic production of laver in 2025 is 718,000 tons . This is based on the production volume of major aquaculture items. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy ) |
| export | In 2025, seaweed exports reached $1.13 billion , a 13.7% increase from the previous year , marking an all-time high. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy ) |
| Supply Chain Policy | The government is pursuing the establishment of a stable laver production base of over 180 million bundles annually by 2030 , the stockpiling of dried laver, the AI grading system, and the expansion of smart factories and physical AI. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy ) |
| Seed Risk | Because it is difficult to distinguish laver species based on morphology alone, the National Institute of Fisheries Science developed DNA markers for *Pteris multifida*, *Pteris radiata*, *Pteris mouli*, and *Pteris ittadi*. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Climate Risk | Gim is a type of seaweed that grows from autumn to winter, and high water temperatures pose a risk of seaweed diseases, physiological disorders, and reduced yields. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science ) |
| Operating Principles | Connect Species/Strain–Seed–Farm Site–Net–Harvest–Wet GIM–Dried GIM–Seasoned GIM–Buyer RFQ. |
| Final goal | We manage quality and supply stability simultaneously by connecting the entire process genealogy, from farmed raw materials to processing, export, and buyer evaluation. |
The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries officially announced that South Korea's laver production is projected to reach 718,000 tons in 2025. In the same year, laver exports recorded an all-time high of $1.13 billion, demonstrating that laver has grown from a mere raw seafood product into a core processed food item in the national export supply chain.

The National Institute of Fisheries Science has published official data summarizing the characteristics of 12 species and 2 varieties of laver native to Korea , as well as 4 species and 18 strains being cultivated at the time . Since these figures reflect the survey scope of 2013, they are not used directly as the current number of species and varieties; however, they serve as the official basis establishing that the classification of Species, Variety, and Strain is essential in the laver industry. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science )
In addition, in 2019, the National Institute of Fisheries Science developed mitochondrial DNA markers for *Pteris multifida*, *Pteris radiata*, *Pteris mouli*, and *Pteris lutea*, and implemented a service to identify species at the seed stage. ( National Institute of Fisheries Science )

Laver primarily grows from autumn to winter, and high water temperatures can lead to diseases and physiological disorders, potentially reducing production. To address this climate change, the National Institute of Fisheries Science has researched laver's heat tolerance genes and officially proposed the need to develop heat-tolerant varieties.

The government's 2026 plan for innovation in the dried seaweed supply chain proposed introducing an AI-based grading system and enhancing transparency in grade-based transactions. Accordingly, MarketHub will add AI Grade ID, Model Version, Defect Score, and Color/Gloss Score to the Lot Dataset in the future, in addition to the existing visual grade. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy )
Furthermore, as the government is promoting the development of heavy metal reduction technologies and strengthening hygiene management during the dried seaweed manufacturing process, heavy metals need to be linked not only to simple raw material inspection but also to Processing PRP.

Gim exports are projected to reach a record high of $1.13 billion in 2025. The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries attributes this to expanded demand in overseas markets, including North America and Europe, as well as the development of diverse products. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy )
By 2026, the government has proposed a direction to expand the export share of seasoned laver to 60% and to promote the English name "GIM" for Korean-style laver. Accordingly, Dried Laver, Seasoned GIM, and GIM Snack will be maintained as separate product categories in the export RFQ. ( Ministry of Finance and Economy )
