Other than cabbage, perilla leaves, lettuce, and cucumbers go up a lot.

Not only cabbage, which has recently caused a price fluctuation, but also other vegetable prices such as perilla leaves, lettuce, and cucumbers have increased a lot.

The average monthly price of 100 grams of sesame leaves in September according to the price information of the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation was 3,436 won, the highest monthly price since 2014 when statistics began.

The price of Cheongsangchu was 2,526 won per 100 grams at the end of last month, up 46% from a year ago, and 14,942 won for 10 cucumbers, up 16% from a year ago.

An official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said the rise in vegetable prices was due to the price heat wave and torrential rains that caused damage to facilities in some major areas.
