1, comparison of vegetable prices at the beginning and the middle of the year. South Korea's vegetable prices have been rising since the beginning of the year and have not stopped so far. According to the statistics in the first half of 2020, some vegetables and fruits in Korea increased by 70%. Watermelon, for example, is a very cheap thing, which costs nearly 20 thousand won, about RMB 100 yuan. You know, watermelons in China are only a few dollars when they are cheap, and the gap is at least dozens of times. At the beginning of this year, the price of Chinese cabbage has more than doubled compared with last year, and the price of a Chinese cabbage has reached RMB in 25 yuan. However, this is only the price at the beginning of the year. By 10, the price of a cabbage has reached 60 yuan.
2. Forced to give up making kimchi. We all know that kimchi is a characteristic of Korea, and almost every household will cook it. Even in restaurants, there are Fluttershy pickles. But now this situation has changed. According to Korean media reports, due to the serious increase in vegetable prices, most families give up making kimchi in autumn. The restaurant canceled the kimchi Fluttershy, and there were no tomatoes in the hamburger. In fact, this phenomenon is understandable. It takes about 20 cabbages to make kimchi. According to some estimates, it will cost nearly 3,000 RMB to make kimchi this autumn, which is not a small sum.
3. The reason why Korean vegetable prices skyrocketed in South Korea was the weather. South Korea's rainy season this year is 52 days long, which is unprecedented. The invasion of typhoon also made most vegetable farmers give up growing vegetables. The quantity of vegetables in the market can't meet the standard, so we can only raise the price.
