The Korea Rural Economic Institute predicts a decrease in the cultivation area for leaf root vegetables such as cabbage, radish, and carrots, with the largest decline expected for carrots. On the other hand, the cultivation area for onions, green onions, cucumbers, watermelons, and tomatoes is expected to increase. However, the cultivation area for garlic, dried peppers, melons, pumpkins, strawberries, paprika, and green peppers will decrease due to factors such as poor harvests, manpower shortage, aging population, and drop in shipping prices. Despite a decrease in cultivation area, total production of green pepper is expected to increase. The cultivation of certain apple varieties is expected to decrease, while 'Gamhong' and 'Cinano Gold' apples are expected to increase. Pear and sweet persimmon cultivation and production are expected to decline, while 'Geobong' and 'Delaware' grapes are expected to increase.
