[THE INVESTOR] Kellogg’s Korea CEO Han Jong-kap will oversee the firm’s operations in Hong Kong and Taiwan from January, according to a local news report on Nov. 23.

The Korean unit of the global cereal producer has registered 10 percent annual sales growth during the last three years, which is significant compare to the average 2 percent growth rate in the Asian-Pacific region. Among 13 APAC countries that the global firm operates in, Kellogg’s Korea has the second highest sales growth, following Australia.
