According to Manager Rim Kum Chol, the former, as a plant immunity optimizer, is especially efficacious for disorders of the digestive system including liver and pancreas and various kinds of cancerous diseases, and the latter, a kind of health food, is good for preventing and treating cerebral thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage and helps consolidate vessel walls, improve intelligence, strengthen the heart and purify the blood.
These products won diplomas at international exhibitions and are gaining growing popularity among the peoples of European and Asian countries including Russia, China, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan.
The Kumgangsan specialty exchange centre put on display royal jelly, native bee honey, wild fruit jam, Inonotus obligus tea and others made from natural raw materials in Mt Kumgang, a world celebrated mountain and pollution-free area.
The products of foreign companies also attracted the interest of visitors.
Crowd-pullers included a household heating system using solar energy, refrigerator, deep-freezer and other products using renewables.
Widely encouraged at the fair were economic and trade transactions and sci-tech exchanges between participants.
“Foreign businesses were very eager to promote and develop economic exchanges with our country in transport, building materials, machine building and other sectors. It was a characteristic feature of the recent fair,” said Kim Il Hyok, department chief of the Korea International Exhibition Corporation.
