Cabbage prices skyrocketing Koreans can't afford pickles The average price is 6 times the same period last year The government temporarily cancels cabbage radish import tariffs

Kimchi, a common and essential food on the Korean table, has caused South Koreans headaches and discomfort in recent days. With the soaring price of Chinese cabbage and radish, a “kimchi crisis” has caused many families to have a bad meal.

Cold weather leads to reduced production

Recently, the average price of cabbage sold in Korean markets and grocery stores is 10,000 won (about 8 US dollars) per tree, which is 3 times that of 3,000 won in September, and more than 6 times that of 1600 won in the same period last year.

Cabbage is the basic raw material of kimchi and Korean families are indispensable. The soaring price of Chinese cabbage has affected many people’s lives. Many people began to use radish as a substitute, pushing the price of radish more than twice as much as the same period last year.

According to the South Korean government, the price of vegetables such as radish and cabbage has skyrocketed due to the weather. South Korea continued to experience low temperatures in the spring, high temperatures in summer, and heavy rain in September, which resulted in a reduction in crop production, which in turn caused grain prices to rise.

Chinese cabbage import tariffs canceled

“Now, I have to ignore the requirement that grandchildren and her husband must eat kimchi for every meal. I really don’t know how long this situation will last,” said Kim Min Suk, a Seoul citizen. “If you don’t eat three meals a day, If you eat kimchi, you're not Korean."

In order to curb the soaring prices of vegetables such as cabbage and radish, the South Korean government recently decided to temporarily remove import duties on cabbage and radish.

The Ministry of Planning and Finance of the Republic of Korea announced on the 5th that the import tariffs on cabbage and radish will be removed starting from October 14.

Li Mingbo has been criticized

President Lee Myung-bak seems to be involved in the "Kimchi crisis." According to South Korean media reports, "First Lady" Kim Yun-yu usually likes to go to the market to buy food. He recently went to the market and discovered that 10,000 won of Chinese cabbage was the same as Lee Myung-bak. Lee Myung-bak was followed by the kitchen director of Peiqing Watai, using Chinese cabbage (cabbage) instead of Chinese cabbage to make kimchi.

After the "family affairs at the table" of "The First Family" was reported by the media, it caused some netizens to criticize it. Netizens reported that the price of each cabbage was nearly 10,000 won.
