With the early Chuseok holiday at the end of next month ahead, if demand soars for a short period of time, the perceived price of goods for the common people is expected to rise more steeply.
In addition, with Russia’s termination of the Black Sea grain agreement, international grain prices turned upward for the first time in three months, which is expected to affect domestic processed food prices in the second half of the year.
