Global Food 'Kimchi'...Exports and investment are also hot
Today is Kimchi Day, is there any special reason?

[Reporter]
Yes, 11 ingredients come together to produce 22 effects, so November 22 became Kimchi Day.

Kimchi, which is indispensable in the lives of Koreans, is also increasing its status abroad recently.

Last year, kimchi exports reached an all-time high of 44,000 tons.

It is expected to break another record this year.

The number of export destinations has also increased to 92 countries, including Japan, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

Korean companies are also investing in line with overseas demand.

Daesang is building a kimchi production plant in Poland with the aim of completing it next year.

In addition to existing kimchi products, we are also targeting new products such as jam that we spread, considering that foreign tastes are different from ours.

CJ CheilJedang acquired a local kimchi company targeting the North American market, and in Australia, it used local food materials to produce kimchi.

In the meantime, the price of cabbage, which was called 'gold cabbage' until last month, has stabilized?

[Reporter]
Yes, as autumn cabbages are shipped in earnest this month,

The price of cabbage dropped below 3,000 won yesterday.

It's been 10 months since January that it came down to the 2,000 won range.

However, when I looked at the price announced this afternoon, it rose back to the 3,000 won range.

Compared to the average year, it is about 13% lower, but 15% higher than last year.
