The Republic of Korea has been striving to expand overseas exports of its domestic agricultural products in an effort to compensate for the ever increasing imports of foreign agricultural goods following the signing of free trade agreements with many other countries. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) fruits produced in the country have been suggested as one of the several competitive candidates that are qualified for export abroad. Strawberry plants, perennials that belong to the rose family, are being cultivated all over the world and regarded as one of the major economical crops in the horticultural industry of South Korea. In the year of 2010 alone in the country, strawberry production accounted for approximately 1 billion dollars of revenue, and its cultivation areas were estimated to be approximately 6,841 hectares in total.
