Nestled in the pristine landscapes of Jeju Island, Tamrain has long been synonymous with quality, sustainability, and innovation in the premium pork industry. Our journey from a local enterprise to a global leader has been marked by relentless dedication to excellence, earning us prestigious awards and certifications along the way. Each accolade reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest-quality Jeju Black Pork while upholding the values of sustainability and ethical farming.


A Legacy Built on Quality and Innovation


Since obtaining HACCP certification in 2014, Tamrain has led the charge in revolutionizing black pork products in South Korea. As the first in Jeju to receive the Excellent Product Quality Certification for the livestock industry, we have continuously pioneered quality management. These early recognitions set the foundation for our ongoing pursuit of excellence, allowing us to expand beyond Korea and introduce Jeju Black Pork to the world.
