October's unexpected summer heat in the southern region of South Korea, reaching around 30 degrees, is raising concerns among winter vegetable farmers. This late-season heat, which is setting record highs for October, could lead to overgrowth, increased production, lower crop values, and higher harvest prices.

Farmers who have started sowing winter vegetables are particularly affected.
