Korean food prices are rising as bird flu culling, a weak won and an early heat wave push up eggs, chicken and samgyetang. Broiler chicken averaged 6,650 won per kg nationwide in June, up 19.4% from a year earlier.
Heavier rain and heat in the forecast suggest prices could rise further this summer.
Supply losses from bird flu and weather, plus a weaker won that raises import costs, support Korean chicken and feed-related import prices. The impact is mostly domestic.
