90% of the kimchi imported into South Korea comes from China. What does this mean?

Korea is experiencing a kimchi crisis. 90% of imported kimchi comes from my country, which shows that our country’s cabbage has great advantages in price and quality. It has occupied the Korean kimchi market and entered every household in Korea. dining table.

We know that Koreans like to eat kimchi very much. Korean families will pickle all kinds of kimchi, so they need to purchase a large amount of vegetables. But some time ago, a cabbage in South Korea sold for 79 yuan. Such sky-high prices for cabbage have caused the cost of making kimchi for Koreans to increase by more than half compared to previous years. Some brand kimchi merchants have run out of kimchi due to a lack of raw materials, and some catering businesses no longer provide kimchi, which has also discouraged many Korean families. The supply and demand imbalance in the Korean kimchi market is mainly due to the fact that Korea suffered a typhoon earlier, followed by severe rainy season and floods, which affected the production of cabbage, causing the price of Korean local cabbage to skyrocket, triggering a supply shortage in the kimchi market, and ultimately leading to a Kimchi raw materials are imported from abroad.

In recent years, my country’s cabbage production has ranked second in the world. Therefore, many Korean kimchi dealers have increased their imports from China to alleviate the tight supply of kimchi in Korea. Currently, more than 90% of the kimchi imported into South Korea is produced in my country. Among these 90%, the main products are kimchi from Renzhao Town, Pingdu City, Shandong Province. This town is known as the "strongest kimchi town". Vegetable farmers in Renzhao Town are very concerned about South Korea's weather, because it determines the area where they can grow cabbage. Whenever the weather in South Korea is bad, Korean kimchi will suffer, and vegetable farmers will receive a steady stream of orders.

I never expected that my country’s kimchi would account for 90% of the Korean kimchi market with its favorable price and super high quality and enter Korean families. This also means that our country does have a strong advantage in agricultural development, and our country's comprehensive national strength is also constantly increasing. I believe that in the near future, our country will become more and more outstanding not only in agriculture, but also in other industries, occupying a larger foreign market.
