'''Kim Dong-man'''(ko: 김동만, May 11, 1955 ~) is a South Korean food engineer. He is an expert in post-harvest management of fresh produce.<ref></ref><ref></ref>

In 1980, he began his career as a researcher in the Food Science Lab of [[Korea Institute of Science and Technology]]. His initial field of research was on the storage and distribution of fresh agricultral products.<ref></ref> After 1988, he has worked at the Korea Food Research Institute, where he conducted research on processing, packaging, storage, and distribution technologies for fresh agricultural products, and teach technologies both domestically and abroad. He has published 210 research reports, 50 domestic and foreign patents, and 230 research papers individually or jointly. He served as Director of the Korea-ASEAN FTA Cooperation Project, Head of Convergence Technology Research Division of Korea Food Research Institute, Vice Chairman of the Korea Food Storage and Distribution Society, and KOICA advisor.<ref></ref>

He learned agricultural distribution technology from GTZ in Germany for rural areas of the Republic of Korea, which was still a developing country in the 1980s. After 1994, with the advance of Korea's food engineering to some extent, he has been carrying out aid projects to improve management of post-harvest fresh agricultural products for technically lagging Southeast Asian countries. The targets include countries such as the Philippines (FDC), Vietnam (NACENTECH), Cambodia (CADRI), Indonesia (PAJAJALAN UNIV.), Myanmar, Azerbaijan, etc. In recognition of his achievements in this project, he was awarded the Plaque of Appreciation and the Merit Medal by the Philippine President and the Vietnamese government, respectively.<ref></ref>

Since 2011, he has served as Director of the Korea-ASEAN FTA Cooperation Project, focusing mainly on Myanmar, the poorest member of the ASEAN member countries in terms of Per capita income. Based on KOICA's budget, the Korea Food Research Institute established the “Postharvest Technology Training Centre” to help Myanmar, which has suffered losses of 30-70% after harvesting.<ref></ref> Since January 2015, the educational facility has been acquired and operated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation of Myanmar. Kim Dong-man received the Myanmar Government Citation from Vice President Nian Thun on March 2, 2015, in recognition of his contribution to improving the distribution structure of agricultural products in Myanmar and building a foundation for food engineering technology.<ref></ref>
