Dasan Livestock is a specialized pig farming company located in Namwon, Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, and is operated by CEO Park Hwa-chun. The company specializes in the breeding and raising of the nation's only purebred Berkshire black pigs and is opening new horizons for the Korean pig farming industry by developing a unique breed called 'Berkshire K'.

Dasan Breeding is a specialized black pig breeding farm established by Dr. Park Hwa-chun, who returned to his hometown of Namwon to farm after working as a breeding expert at the Rural Development Administration and the National Federation of Livestock Cooperatives. True to its name, which is derived from the pen name 'Dasan' of Jeong Yak-yong, the farm embodies the spirit of seeking truth from facts. It has achieved the feat of developing 'Berkshire K,' a high-quality black pig tailored to the Korean palate, and officially registering it with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as 'Dasan Berkshire.'

Business sectors

• Black Pig Breeding and Rearing: Dasan Breeding raises purebred Berkshire black pigs in the pristine highlands of Mt. Jirisan and is independently developing 'Berkshire K,' a Korean-type Berkshire breed. Through rigorous pedigree management and scientific breeding research, we produce black pigs with uniform and superior meat quality.
• Production of Premium Meat Products: We are developing high-value-added meat products using the Berkshire K black pigs produced. In particular, 'Seong Ham,' a premium cured ham made by fermenting pig hind legs for over a year, is recognized for its quality comparable to Spanish Jamón.
• Sixth Industrialization and Linkage with the Food Service Business: We are pursuing sixth industrialization that expands beyond simple pork production into processing, distribution, and the food service business. Through the 'Berkshire K' brand, we are introducing various menus such as pork cutlets and steaks, aiming to strengthen ties with restaurants that consume our meat and to sell food culture.

Products

• Berkshire K: As Dasan Breeding’s representative black pig breed, it has been improved to suit Korean palates while maintaining the superior meat quality and flavor of purebred Berkshires. It is characterized by its tender, moist, and savory taste, and provides the best texture when cooked thanks to its high water retention and low heat loss.
• Seongham: A premium raw ham made by curing the hind leg of a Berkshire K in sea salt and fermenting it for over a year. Like Spanish Jamón, it is a high-value processed food that is a masterpiece created by Dasan Livestock’s technology and pristine environment.

Special Features

• Unrivaled Black Pig Breeding Technology: Based on CEO Park Hwa-chun's extensive research experience, we have successfully developed the Korean-style Berkshire 'Berkshire K'. 'Dasan Berkshire', listed with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), boasts consistently high-quality meat and leads the domestic black pig market.
• Eco-friendly and pleasant rearing environment: Located on a pristine plateau at the foot of Mt. Jirisan at an altitude of 500m, we provide an optimal environment for pigs. We operate an eco-friendly farm that minimizes odors and supports the healthy growth of pigs through thorough manure treatment and hygiene management systems.
• A 6th industry model encompassing production, processing, and distribution: Moving beyond simple raw material production, we are generating high added value through the development of processed meat products (sex ham), entry into the food service business, and the expansion of distribution networks. This creates new value for agriculture and enables sustainable growth.

Job Information

• Main Recruitment Positions: We are primarily hiring pig farm staff for roles related to pig rearing, specifically those responsible for breeding, farrowing, piglet rearing, and growing pig care.
