The South Korean government plans to conduct weekly inspections of gim (laver) distribution and processing companies across the country, starting February 5 in Mokpo. Despite an increase in supply leading to lower wholesale prices, retail prices have not reflected this change. The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, along with other agencies, aims to address this discrepancy. They will also create a reporting center for illegal distribution activities. This initiative is part of a broader effort to stabilize the price of gim, a staple in Korean cuisine.
