Judgment axis | Key judgment |
| Item Identity | It is a crop of the genus Perilla in the family Lamiaceae, distinct from sesame, and both the seeds and leaves are edible. |
| Key role | A dual industrial structure of seeds, roasted perilla seeds, perilla powder, perilla oil, fresh perilla leaves, and pickled perilla leaves |
| Harvesting principle | For seeds, flowering, seed maturation, harvesting, and drying are managed separately, while for leaves, leaf size, harvesting cycle, and flowering inhibition are managed separately. |
| Product separation | Manage 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 items | Separation of sesame from plant entities, and separation of seed and leaf products within perilla. |
| Domestic statistics | Official 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 characteristics | Data 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 leaves | Nongsaroo 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 production | The 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 linkage | Summer 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 risk | Seed 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 Principles | Plant–Cultivar–Use Type–Edible Part–Production Type–Harvest–Processing–Lot–RFQ Connection |
| Final goal | Connecting seed and leaf producers with processing, food service, distribution, foodservice, and PB buyers, and feeding repurchase data back into variety and cultivation method selection. |
