Raw jujube 10 kg 67,71 won Transactions around 40,000 won higher than usual The Boeun Jujube Festival is also over the Chuseok holiday, which is the peak season for online conversion, but jujube prices are expected to remain strong due to unprecedented poor harvest. At the Garak Market in Seoul on the 16th, 10 kg of raw jujubes was traded at 67,71 won. This is significantly higher than the same day last year (48,221 won) or the average price (around 40,000 won), just a week before Chuseok. Since jujubes are in high demand, they usually show a high market price before Chuseok before falling. However, officials believe that this year, the price will continue to remain high even after Chuseok, when the harvest begins in earnest. The Boeun-gun Hwangto Jujube Association decided to raise the selling price of this year's raw jujubes by 2,000 to 5,000 won per kg. The reason why the jujube harvest this year was sluggish is because of the unusually high temperature, officials in the production area agree. In particular, in Boeun, North Chungcheong Province, the main producing area of jujubes, the humid weather and heatwave continued from June, when the jujubes were blooming, and the lack of sunlight continued in July and August, so the fruits did not ripen properly.
