The government has taken the non-tariff card to control the prices of seven types of agricultural and marine products, including cabbage, cabbage, and dried seaweed.
It was also decided to release piles of squid and marlins, also known as ‘golden squid.’
It remains to be seen whether this will help stabilize prices.

In a press conference marking the second anniversary of his inauguration, President Yoon emphasized price stability as the most important economic indicator.

The government has decided to impose new quota tariffs on seven types of agricultural and marine products, including cabbage, carrots, and seaweed, in order to stabilize market prices.
Zero tariffs will be applied to all cabbage imports until the end of October, 6,000 tonnes of cabbage until the end of next month, and all cocoa bean imports until December.
700 tonnes and 125 tonnes of dried seaweed and seasoned seaweed, respectively, are also subject to tariff quotas.
The aim is to reduce tariffs to 0% and increase import volume to curb price volatility.
In particular, as the price of seaweed has risen sharply recently, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the Fair Trade Commission, and the Coast Guard jointly conducted an on-site inspection of the distribution market and decided to expand production this year by developing 2,700. hectare of new fish farms.
It is 3,800 times the size of a football field.
In addition, in order to stabilize seafood prices, 5,000 tons of squid, mackerel, and knife fish stockpiled by the government will be released to the market.
Along with this, cabbage and radish are released every day during this month.

The government launched a government-wide People’s Livelihood Stability Support Group to reduce the gap between economic indicators and the public’s perception of the situation.
We intend to make every effort to ensure that the economic recovery on the surface leads to price stability, which is the most important indicator of people’s livelihood.
