As more and more people eat at home instead of going outside because of Corona, the price of the table is exciting.

In a year, rice prices have risen, and Korean beef prices have reached an all-time high.



Reporter Han Ji-yeon reported.



<Reporter> After



Corona 19, Mihee Choi, a housewife, has greatly increased the number of cooking.



[Guys, let's eat~]



This is because three children solve all three meals at home through remote classes.



Usually, 10kg of rice ate one month for five families, but now it drops in two weeks.



[Mihee Choi/Housewife: Originally, I ran it once or twice.

Now I scoop four or five times with this one.

I only go one day and until the next morning.

It's too much to



shrink,

so I can't afford it.]

Due to demand for home rice, the sales of rice at a hypermarket last month increased by 23% compared to the previous year.



Not only rice, but also products such as instant rice that can be easily eaten and nurungji that can be eaten instead of rice have increased sales by nearly 20%.



There is also an expectation that the per capita rice consumption, which has continued to decline since 1984, may return to an increase in 36 years due to the corona effect.



Consumption is slow, but rice prices have risen 16% in a year due to sluggish harvest due to the rainy season and typhoons last year.



Consumption of pork and chicken, such as pork belly and chicken, has also increased, and prices are rising due to a livestock epidemic.



The price of Korean beef soared to a record high last year.



As the number of eating out decreased, consumption of Korean beef in the household increased, and it is analyzed that the surge in Korean beef sales, especially when the national disaster support fund was paid, had a big impact.



[Park Gyeong-ja/Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do: I don’t have a chin with one pack of this, but I usually have to eat three packs.

Then it becomes a burden.

In the average family…

The price is almost 200,000 won.]



Anxiety about shopping cart prices is adding to the trouble of household economy in a situation where demand for home food is increasing due to the prolonged corona.
