韩国白菜价格一年跌42%：政府暂停3万吨秋白菜出货，农民翻毁菜田抗议
韩国农林畜产食品部 11 月 11 日宣布追加供需稳定措施：本月下半月起，暂停主要产区约 400 公顷、约 3 万吨秋白菜出货，参与农户将获得高于生产成本的补偿；此前宣布收购储备的 1 万吨白菜也将从本月中旬开始执行。
白菜价格暴跌源于供给大增、需求转弱。韩国农村经济研究院预计，今年秋季白菜产量约 121.4 万吨，同比增加 19%；腌制泡菜用白菜需求估计约 58.3 万吨，同比减少 9.1%。11 月 1 日至 10 日，白菜批发价平均每棵 1,900 韩元，同比下跌 42%，也比常年均值低 32%。韩国农水产食品流通公社数据显示，11 月 4 日白菜零售价约每棵 3,700 韩元，一个月内跌去约 38%。
产地农民已先行抗议。11 月 5 日，全国农民会总联盟忠北支部在清州一处白菜田集会，农民开拖拉机翻毁即将收获的白菜田，指种足三个月的白菜连生产成本都收不回，要求切实的价格稳定对策。
农林畜产食品部长宋美玲表示，今年白菜价格因产量上升与消费低迷而下跌，农民处境更加困难；若价格持续低迷，政府计划在年底后再收购储备冬季白菜。

South Korea Halts 30,000 Tons of Cabbage Shipments as Prices Plunge 42% and Farmers Plow Under Fields
South Korea's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced additional supply stabilization measures on November 11: starting in the second half of this month, shipments of about 30,000 tons of autumn napa cabbage from roughly 400 hectares in major growing areas, including Haenam in South Jeolla Province, will be halted, with participating farmers compensated above their production costs. A previously announced purchase and stockpile of 10,000 tons will also begin in mid-November.
The price plunge reflects a surge in supply and weaker demand. The Korea Rural Economic Institute projects this year's autumn cabbage output at about 1.214 million tons, up 19% from a year earlier, while demand for kimchi-making cabbage is estimated at 583,000 tons, down 9.1%. From November 1 to 10, the average wholesale price was 1,900 won per head, down 42% year on year and 32% below the seasonal average. Data from the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation put the average retail price at about 3,700 won per head on November 4, down roughly 38% in a month.
Growers have already taken to the fields in protest. On November 5, the North Chungcheong chapter of the Korean Peasants League rallied in a cabbage field in Cheongju, where farmers drove tractors over fields nearing harvest, saying three months of work could not even recover production costs, and demanded effective measures.
Agriculture Minister Song Mi-ryung said cabbage prices have fallen this year on rising output and sluggish consumption, adding to the difficulties facing farmers, and that the government plans to buy and stockpile additional winter cabbage at year-end if prices remain weak.
