Key judgment

Item IdentityIt is a crop of the genus Perilla in the family Lamiaceae, distinct from sesame, and both the seeds and leaves are edible.
Key roleA dual industrial structure of seeds, roasted perilla seeds, perilla powder, perilla oil, fresh perilla leaves, and pickled perilla leaves
Harvesting principleFor seeds, flowering, seed maturation, harvesting, and drying are managed separately, while for leaves, leaf size, harvesting cycle, and flowering inhibition are managed separately.
Product separationManage raw perilla seeds, washed perilla seeds, roasted perilla seeds, perilla powder, perilla oil, fresh perilla leaves, and pickled perilla leaves as individual products.
Separation of similar itemsSeparation of sesame from plant entities, and separation of seed and leaf products within perilla.
Domestic statisticsOfficial statistics related to perilla are provided in the KOSIS special crop production data, but detailed national figures for 2024 are entered after verification of the raw data ( KOSIS )
Seed cultivation characteristicsData from the Rural Development Administration presents a cultivation pattern for perilla seeds that generally involves sowing in early June, flowering in early September, and harvesting in early October ( Nongsaroo ).
Cultivation of Perilla leavesNongsaroo presents an open-field cultivation method in which leaves are harvested from late April to early May, when frost damage is non-existent, until the flowering period in late September. ( Nongsaroo )
Year-round leaf productionThe Rural Development Administration explained that year-round shipment is possible for leaf perilla due to the development of summer/winter cultivation and artificial lighting cultivation. ( Nongsaroo )
Policy linkageSummer sesame has been included as a supported crop in the 2025 Strategic Crop Direct Payment System, with a payment rate of 1 million won/ha proposed. This value is a policy support rate, not a production cost or price. ( Mafra )
Supply and demand riskSeed production volume and import dependence, pests and diseases, heavy rainfall and waterlogging damage, harvest loss, drying and foreign matter, perilla oil rancidity, perilla leaf freshness and diseases
Operating PrinciplesPlant–Cultivar–Use Type–Edible Part–Production Type–Harvest–Processing–Lot–RFQ Connection
Final goalConnecting seed and leaf producers with processing, food service, distribution, foodservice, and PB buyers, and feeding repurchase data back into variety and cultivation method selection.

Major harvesting stagesLeaves: Repeated harvesting after true leaf unfolding / Seeds: Flowering → Seed enlargement → Maturation → Harvest
Basic product formRaw perilla seeds · Washed perilla seeds · Roasted perilla seeds · Perilla seed powder · Perilla oil · Fresh perilla leaves · Packaged perilla leaves · Pickled perilla leaves
Basic processing stageSeeds: Drying, threshing, sorting, washing, roasting, grinding, oil extraction / Leaves: Sorting, washing, packaging, pickling
Basic usePerilla oil, powder, soup, stew, sauce, wraps, pickles, preserved foods, school meals, dining out, HMR
Principle of similar itemsSeparation of internal seeds and leaves of perilla into a separate plant entity from sesame.

The Rural Development Administration describes perilla as a crop that utilizes both its seeds and leaves, and suggests that specialized facility and artificial lighting cultivation techniques have developed for leaf perilla in particular due to the increasing demand for wrap vegetables.
