The Real Challenge

The real variable is structure.

High MOQs by category. A fragmented base of local manufacturers. Demanding country-by-country regulation. Large retail projects succeed or fail on these structural variables. As an operating base in Korea, The JRD resolves high MOQs, manufacturer fragmentation, and cross-border regulation directly, across food and functional wellness.

MOQ Problem

Small-batch, multi-product production at workable volumes, with factory-direct pricing regardless of order volume.

Import Compliance

Labeling and ingredient issues surface before production, not at your port of entry. No held shipments, no rework, no relabeling costs.

Manufacturer Management

We find, coordinate, and manage the right Korean manufacturers for you, with designated lines and production priority.

Market Entry

Save time, reduce risk, and scale faster, from first trial batch to repeat container orders.

What enterprise retail sourcing teams want to know before working with a Korean supply chain partner.

Talk to Our Team

Who is The JRD?

The JRD is a supply chain partner based in Korea, serving global enterprise retailers. We are recognized as a Global Leading Company by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and designated as an A-Ventures company by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. We are also a Certified Venture Enterprise. Our network includes 3M+ sourcing data points, 230+ manufacturing and brand partners, and 12 regional hubs across Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East (GCC), and Africa.

Can The JRD develop private label products for large retailers?

Yes. We develop private label products through OEM and ODM with partner factories in Korea, covering Korean sauces, beverages, ready meals, and inner beauty and supplement products. Our regulatory team reviews formulation and ingredients for your market before production starts.

Can you scale from a trial order to full retail volume?

Yes. We start with a market validation batch so you can test the product first. When the product performs well, we move to designated manufacturing lines with production priority.

Do you support FDA FSVP requirements for US importers?

Yes. Under US rules, FSVP responsibility sits with the US importer. We prepare the supplier documentation your importer needs. Our licensed customs brokers and regulatory specialists review products during development, not after production.

Which regulations and certifications do you cover?

We cover food and supplement regulations for the US (FDA), Canada (CFIA), the EU, Japan, China, the Middle East (GCC), and African markets. We also support Halal, EU Organic, and Vegan certification processes.

Do you prepare labels and check import rules for each export market?

Yes. We prepare product labels in the language and format each destination market requires: English labels and Nutrition Facts panels for the US, Arabic labels for the Middle East, and local language labels for the EU, Japan, China, and Africa. Before production, our regulatory team also checks each product against local regulations, including raw materials and ingredients, to confirm it can be imported. For the Middle East, this includes GCC requirements and support for the Halal certification process. This covers ambient, chilled, and frozen products. Our team reviews products for many companies, and this early review is one of our core strengths.

Can you consolidate shipments, including chilled and frozen products?

Yes. We consolidate products from several factories into one shipment and handle freight, customs, and delivery to your distribution center. Cold chain packaging is available for chilled and frozen products.

Can we see case studies?

We work under NDA with our retail partners. During your sourcing review, we are happy to share detailed case studies and walk you through them in a meeting with our team. To get started, send an inquiry through our contact page. We reply within 48 hours on business days.
