Finished kimchi has become a hot commodity.
Recently, due to the soaring price of cabbage, two groups of thieves stole cabbage from the same cabbage field in gangwon, South Korea, which also triggered a heated discussion among Koreans. With the rising prices of Chinese cabbage, peppers and other raw materials, many people gave up their own pickled kimchi this year and chose to buy finished kimchi directly, which made the demand for products of the two major kimchi companies in Korea tight.
It turned out that because of the epidemic, people increased their purchases of kimchi products that are easy to store, which led to a 20% increase in kimchi sales of the two major companies in July compared with the same period of last year, especially the online sales increased by about 50%, and some bagged kimchi products under 5 kg were seriously out of stock.
In order to ensure the supply of kimchi, South Korea is actively expanding the import of kimchi from China. Due to the bullish demand, the import price of kimchi in China also increased by 33.4% year-on-year.
