[Korean Farmers Newspaper Reporter Jin-woo Lee] Through the September livestock observation of the Korea Rural Economic Institute, it was announced that the price for the 4th quarter will be lower than the auction price from the 1st to the 5th day (graph). Amid the anticipation of whether Hanwoo will be able to make a significant transaction ahead of the Chuseok holiday, the Korea Rural Economic Institute forecasted the average wholesale price for Hanwoo steers during the Chuseok peak season from September 5 to October 2 to be between 20,000 won and 21,000 won per kg. The Korea Rural Economic Institute predicted that the number of Hanwoo slaughtered during the Chuseok peak season will be around 111,000 to 113,000 heads based on the September livestock observation, due to a decrease in the number of heads available for shipment, compared to 114,000 heads last year.
