South Korea's Defense Ministry plans to increase the number of army units outsourcing food services to private companies to 49 this year, aiming to improve soldier satisfaction and reduce the burden on military operations. The growing competition among catering companies is driven by the predictability and scale of the military market, with anticipation that the overall market could reach 2 trillion won annually. This move comes as the military faces a decrease in manpower and cooking skills due to the shorter service duration. Current satisfaction rates show a preference for outsourced food services over directly provided military meals.
