There is no lettuce in McDonald's burger?A number of well -known fast food restaurants announced: disconnected supply

The continuous rising prices have put the "vegetable basket" pressure on the Korean people and is affected by extreme weather. Some Korean vegetable output declined. Recently, not only the lettuce in fast food restaurants is gone, but the price of cabbage is even more fierce.

In South Korea, many people have recently discovered that there are no lettuce in the burgers of some chain stores. A few days ago, McDonald's posted an announcement on the official website. Due to the unstable supply of lettuce, the burgers in some stores may be put less or do not put on daily vegetables. In addition to McDonald's, Lotteli, Saibaiwei and many other fast food chain stores also said that lettuce may be interrupted.

Affected by the continuous high temperature, rainstorm and typhoon weather this year, the output of Korean lettuce has fallen sharply, and prices have risen. The lettuce in Korean barbecue restaurants is usually free of charge, but recently in some barbecue shops, if you want to add lettuce, you need to pay extra. Also due to the reduction of the weather is cabbage. Although during the Mid -Autumn Festival, South Korea increased the supply of cabbage in the market, it still did not curb the rise in cabbage prices. Recently, the wholesale price of 10 kilograms of cabbage in South Korea reached approximately RMB 172, doubled from a month ago.

Cabbage has become "golden vegetables", and the auxiliary materials for pickles such as radish and green onions have also risen sharply. The Korean people who are indispensable for kimchi will turn their eyes to finished kimchi. Driven by the strong needs, the finished kimchi on the official website of the well -known kimchi enterprise has been out of stock for one month, and some supermarket kimchi counters have also had a shortage of goods.

However, due to the rise in food raw materials and logistics, kimchi companies are also difficult to resist pressure. The Korean market share in the top two kimchi companies will increase their finished kimchi prices by about 10 % the day before yesterday and next month. This is also the second price increase in the two companies this year. The Korean agricultural department has stated this month that it plans to add 3,000 tons of cabbage to this month to stabilize the price of cabbage and reduce the burden on the public and enterprises.

Under the trend, Chinese kimchi has risen in Korea. According to the latest data from the South Korean Customs Office, in the first eight months of this year, the imports of Chinese kimchi increased by 27%year -on -year, and the imports in August were surging by more than 40%year -on -year. Chinese kimchi has become the first choice for the Korean catering industry.
