| From the old times Chinese regarded Korean Ginseng as a rare and precious thing. Korean
Ginseng has been exported to the Southeast Asian Chinese in Hong Kong, Taiwan and
mainland China. With the popularity in the Chinese-speaking culture, there once was a deluge
of illicitly manufactured or forged red ginseng. |
| For the purpose of separating KGC's red ginseng from these, in the early 1940s the name ¡®Cheong-Kwan-Jang' started to be printed on the canned package of the Korean Ginseng. |
The name used to mean in China at that time the genuine red ginseng manufactured in the
government-run factory, and as the name goes, the quality of the red ginseng product with
¡®Cheong-Kwan-Jang' printed on its package is guaranteed by the government. |

Taking care of soil to be most suitable for the cultivation of ginseng, establishing the best
environment through the study on the cultivation environment, timing for sowing and harvest,
and controlling the damages caused by insects and blights or from natural disasters are
among the field quality control efforts of Cheong-Kwan-Jang. In this respect, it is said that
the exquisite Cheong-Kwan-Jang is made from the field.
|
Such quality control started in the field continues to the production in Korea Ginseng Factory
equipped with KGMP(Korea Good Manufacturing Practice)facilities. The Korea Ginseng
Factory boasts its superiority in facilities, size and history which well matches to the honor
as the suzerain of ginseng. Especially, the quality control to maintain the exquisite feature of
Cheong-Kwan-Jang is conducted through all the processes. |
| The scrupulous quality control is conducted in the two divided processes: one is the part that
requires careful handy works like solar-heat drying and selection, and the other is the part
that requires modernized and automated process including steaming, shaping and packing. |
