Introduction

Korea International Trade Association(KITA) is the largest business organization in Korea with over 77,000 member companies. It was founded in 1946 to bolster the Korean economy through global trade.

  • Establishment

    KITA was launched on July 31, 1946 by 105 pioneering traders. Since its inception, KITA laid a solid foundation for economic growth by setting policy directions on trade as well as developing the country's trade infrastructure.

  • Achievement

    KITA is a leading business organization that assists SMEs in gaining overseas market entry and has contributed to Korea's recent achievement of 1 trillion dollars in trade volume.

  • Our Goal

    KITA aims to contribute to Korea's economic growth as a private economic organization by advocating the Korean trade industry's rights and interests, thereby facilitating global trade.

  • Key Objectives

    • Propose policy suggestions to the government to protect the rights and interests of its member companies.
    • Explore new foreign markets and boost private sector trade.
    • Organize world-class exhibitions.
    • Nurture global trade professionals.
    • Conduct analysis & studies to enhance national competitiveness.
    • Establish e-trade infrastructure and expand user base.

  • Looking Ahead

    Since Korea's trade volume hit 1 billion dollars in 1967, the country has achieved remarkable economic growth over the past few decades, making it the 9th largest economy in the world in 2011 to attain a trillion-dollar trade volume. This accomplishment has brought a vast amount of new opportunities for Korea to raise its status in the global economic arena. To create a new paradigm fit for this new chapter in trade, KITA will make its utmost efforts to lay the groundwork for positioning Korea as an FTA hub, bolstering economic growth and strengthening support for the Korean trade industry.
