The article provides an overview of the 2022 strawberry harvest in South Korea, focusing on the expectations of similar yield levels compared to the previous year, with some areas experiencing increases due to reduced pest issues and thorough farming practices, despite high November temperatures leading to smaller fruit sizes and potentially lower production. Initially, high prices were seen due to limited shipments, but as more strawberries hit the market, prices have dropped significantly from the previous year, showing a weak market with a possible price rebound if demand increases due to Christmas or other events. The article also mentions the early release of the first shipment this year and an anticipated start of the second shipment at the end of January, with concerns about the quality and potential for market price fluctuations as the harvest volume increases in December.
