As the temperature recently dropped sharply, they began harvesting in a hurry due to concerns about cold damage. In general, freezing damage occurs at temperatures below 0 degrees for radishes and below -8 degrees for cabbages. However, if the temperature suddenly drops, damage can occur even at -3 degrees Celsius. Chae Ui-seok, head of the Rural Development Administration’s Disaster Response Division, said, “There are concerns about damage such as a decrease in the quality of crops about to be harvested due to a sudden drop in temperature, so we must check local weather information frequently and be fully prepared.” “We will do our best to provide technical support,” he said.
