The harvest of fresh seaweed from 2025 begins..."It will be similar to last year's production".

With the price of laver rising sharply this year due to a lack of supply and demand, the government predicted that the supply and demand situation will improve as the production of fresh laver begins.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries said that production of sun laver from 2025 began this month, and that it will be shipped from Haenam, Sinan, and Wando, starting with Jindo.

The laver that is harvested is expected to be processed into dried laver products and served on the table as early as next month.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries predicted that the production of seaweed would be similar to previous years, although there were concerns about the production of seaweed due to high water temperatures this summer.
