South Korea is experiencing a sharp increase in prices for agricultural and fishery products due to an intense heatwave. Fruits like watermelon have seen prices rise over 30%, while vegetables such as spinach have increased nearly 80% compared to the previous month. The heatwave has negatively impacted crop growth and sea temperatures, leading to lower harvests and catching yields. The government is responding with measures to stabilize supply and offering discounts on key agricultural products to ease consumer burdens. The situation is expected to affect prices through the remainder of the year.
