In the U.S., health-focused consumption continues to grow, particularly within the processed foods category.

The company is currently preparing export agreements with U.S. distributors specializing in health foods, online snack platforms, and organic-focused retailers. Packaging and labeling will also be adapted to meet U.S. regulatory requirements. The brand name WELLINUS reflects the meaning "well in us," emphasizing health, trust, and a commitment to clean, transparent food values.
A company spokesperson stated, "Our additive-free grain chips made from Korean black barley and brown rice align perfectly with the clean label trend among U.S. consumers. We plan to position the product not just as a snack, but as a health-conscious option that supports long-term brand growth in the American market."
THE HONEST FARMER expects its U.S. expansion to serve as more than a simple export initiative—marking a strategic step toward becoming a global health snack brand and a key opportunity to demonstrate the competitiveness of K-snacks in North America.
