Why are vegetables generally expensive in Korea? Do local residents reduce their purchasing power because of high vegetable prices?
Speaking of Korean food, I think everyone will subconsciously think of kimchi. Whether in the real life of Koreans or in Korean dramas, we can often see Koreans eating with a dish of kimchi. According to recent reports, the price of vegetables in South Korea has generally increased a lot, especially the Chinese cabbage used for pickling pickles, which has risen to a Chinese cabbage 62 yuan. In related reports, a Korean woman mentioned in an interview that the price of Chinese cabbage is unacceptable. The report also mentioned that due to the rising price of Chinese cabbage, some restaurants have gradually reduced the distribution of kimchi in the side dishes provided to customers.

South Korea's vegetable prices are generally expensive because of the influence of typhoon Mesak, which led to the reduction of production of many vegetables, including Chinese cabbage, and the lack of market supply, which led to the price increase. In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival every year is a stage for Korean families to make kimchi. The supply of Chinese cabbage in the market can't meet people's needs, and the price increase is inevitable. However, as a Korean who likes kimchi, and kimchi is indispensable for every meal, I think I will choose to buy some kimchi even if the price of Chinese cabbage is higher. However, it is possible that the purchasing power will not be as great as in previous years. After all, the price is here.

Affected by the typhoon, the output of various vegetables in Korea was affected. Not only the price of Chinese cabbage has risen, but also the prices of vegetables such as radish, pepper and onion have risen sharply, and even the price of radish has reached a catty in 23 yuan. Because of the price increase, many Koreans have decided to buy less Chinese cabbage, and the quantity of hot and sour vegetables and pickles will definitely drop. Some people even plan to buy pickled pickles instead of pickling them themselves. However, the South Korean government also indicated that it would consider importing Chinese cabbage from abroad to meet the market demand and neutralize the price of Chinese cabbage in the market.

As a Korean who likes kimchi, I don't know if I am very happy after hearing this news. After all, eating homemade kimchi is also a kind of happiness. In addition, the kimchi produced by each family may have different tastes. Most Koreans still tend to eat their own kimchi and are proud of the taste of their kimchi.
