Host : give us about, and now South Korean cabbage price? Is not there a crash situation?

Reporter: is this. Last October the Korean market price on the price of Chinese cabbage for many Koreans still remember, after a long period of time, a cabbage prices at 7,000 won (about 42 yuan) prices. With the South Korean government's control measures and the large number of South Korean farmers planting cabbage, Korean cabbage prices have now fully down. As far as I know, usually farms, the price of a basic maintenance of Chinese cabbage 3,000 won (about 18 yuan), while some large supermarkets at the weekend promotional activities, a Chinese cabbage prices have people feel something cheaper, such as Chinese cabbage in Korea Grand supermarket special promotional price of 1,800 won (about 11 yuan), Lotte Mart's promotional price of 1,600 won (about 10 yuan).

Host : So why the price of Chinese cabbage on the Korean market is so large down?

Reporter: It should be said, the significant downturn in the price of cabbage is caused by a variety of reasons. First and foremost reason is that the South Korean government has taken a number of control measures. Last winter, around the Spring Festival this year, including Chinese cabbage, including soaring food prices is caused by a variety of reasons, such as unusual weather last winter, some brokers conspired to raise prices of agricultural products and so on. After South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has repeatedly stressed that the Government will significantly improve the structure of agricultural markets to stabilize the affected people are living in South Korea's basic agricultural products prices. In response, South Korean authorities to take a step up imports of vegetables, reduction of import taxes and crack down on illegal activities of brokers action. Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, according to the National Plant Quarantine Service on April 12 revealed that the first quarter of this year, vegetable imports surged 79% year on year, fruit imports increased by 28%, of which the biggest increase in imports of Chinese cabbage, in the first quarter imports were 3,833 tons, last year's 30,000 times.

Second, South Korean farmers is the increase of Chinese cabbage cultivation. Earlier, the South Korean government officials had disclosed that the price surge last year, Chinese cabbage, Korean cabbage farmers planted Dongchu a lot more than last year. The South Korean media reported recently that many South Korean farmers because the expected profit by planting Chinese cabbage, watermelons and other fruits, even the land to plant cabbage, so this summer when South Korea's watermelon prices are likely to surge.
