The article highlights a significant surge in the prices of processed food in South Korea over the past year, with notable increases in the costs of noodles, salt, and other staples like rice cakes and bread. The most substantial price hikes were seen in noodles (19.2%) and salt (18%), driven in part by rising international oil prices. This inflation has led the government to consider additional financial and tax support measures to address the issue and prevent further price increases. The consumer price index for September, at 105.10 (2015 = 100), marks the largest increase in over nine years, with the annual inflation rate likely to exceed 2%. In response, the government is examining strategies such as enhanced communication with the dairy industry, reviewing further financial and tax support, and implementing measures to stabilize rice supply and pricing.
