According to reports, data from the Korea Agricultural and Fisheries Food Distribution Agency showed that the average retail price of each cabbage was 6,888 won (about 37 yuan) on August 14, up 16.8% from the same period last year. Some netizens complained that Korea's "national vegetables" have become unaffordable "golden vegetables". According to the report, the reduction in production has led to a surge in the price of cabbage, and the reason for the reduction is related to the shrinking area of cabbage planting area and the continuation of the scorching heat. In order to stabilize prices, Korea's agriculture department said it planned to distribute 400 tons of cabbage reserves per day to increase supply, and decided to provide subsidies to farmers to encourage cabbage to be marketed early.
