(1) The planting area in Korea is small. The local area in Korea is very small, and the main industry in Korea is not agriculture, so the planting area is even smaller in a limited area. It is precisely because of the small planting area that the vegetable production in Korea is very low and the people's willingness to plant is not high. Some farmers' vegetable planting techniques are not only so satisfactory, but also the main reason why vegetables in Korea are expensive.
Vegetables are imported from Korea. In fact, kimchi is very famous. Most of the raw materials of kimchi are vegetables, so the demand for vegetables in Korea is still relatively large. However, locally produced vegetables are far from satisfying consumption, so most of them are imported. Imported vegetables are imported from abroad, so some tariffs and logistics fees have to be added, so the price of imported vegetables is very high.
The land in Korea is not suitable for planting. South Korea's land is relatively barren, and it needs very fertile land to grow vegetables, so there are few vegetables suitable for local cultivation, and the vegetables that South Korea can grow are also very cramped.
Vegetables are indispensable dishes for people. You can't just eat meat. If you want to be healthy, you must have a balanced nutrition. So, even if it's expensive, buy it. If cabbage is expensive, choose a relatively cheap and affordable dish.
