The article highlights the significant rise in quota prices for crude oil in South Korea, with Seoul Milk's quarter price surging to 870,000 won and the Dairy Promotion Association's quota trading above 600,000 won. This increase is attributed to a surge in demand and the effects of the crude oil cut-off policy.
