AI, etc… 19.6% increase compared to last year Inflation has increased sharply in the last three weeks
[충청투데이 송해창 기자] It seems that local consumers are getting more annoyed by the rising snow prices day by day. According to the Daejeon branch of the Consumer Education Center on the 7th, the cost of purchasing new products in Daejeon this year (based on 4 people) is △ 440,500 won in department stores △ 332063 won in large retail stores △ 320,000 won in SSM 328,475 won in traditional market, etc. Was investigated. This is an increase from last year.
The year-on-year increase was △ 8.4% in department stores △ 20.9% in large retail stores △ 19.5% in SSM △ 19.6% in the traditional market. There are also concerns that the rise in snow prices is not so severe. The survey of the’Purchase Cost at New Year’s Day’ by the Korea Agricultural and Fisheries Food Distribution Corporation is showing an increasing trend every week. In particular, it was found that in the last three weeks, a large inflation occurred.
As of the 15th of last month, the’purchase cost for the New Year’s turn’ was surveyed as △23,907 won for the traditional market and 328,803 won for large retailers. On the 4th, △traditional market 260,7392 won △large retailer 374,370 won. For about three weeks, the traditional market increased by 36,485 won (8.63%↑) and large retailers by 55,567 won (8.51%↑). The survey targets 17 traditional markets nationwide and 27 large retailers nationwide.
It is explained that it is similar to the rise in inflation in the Chungcheong area. Prices in the Chungcheong area are expected to rise until the day of the Lunar New Year. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI), abnormal weather, and special snowfall are the causes of inflation. It is an analysis that AI, which gave birth to the’golden egg’ phenomenon, is still spreading. Vegetables and specialty crops are suffering from sluggish production due to the abnormal climate. For items such as fruits and meat, prices are expected to rise due to increased demand for gift sets.
An official from the Daejeon Branch of the Consumer Education Federation said, “Consumers need to find a modest way to consume. Onnuri gift certificate discounts and online mall events will be a good way,” he said. “If you carefully compare various issues, it will be a more fruitful New Year holiday.” Reporter Song Hae-chang
