Three days later, from Thursday, the price of milk will rise again.
It seems that the price of bread and coffee with milk will rise one after another, which puts a heavy burden on consumers and worries the self-employed.
This is reporter Jung Joon-ho's report.

A cafe in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.
The news of the milk price increase makes me think about the popular cafe latte.
If you want to maintain the quality, you can't replace it with cheap milk, and if you get it at the right price, you're worried about price competition with nearby shops.
[Choi Jin-hyeok/Café Operation Team Leader: Because it is a part that can be a little burdensome for consumers to dissolve at the selling price...
.
It's burdensome.
From the fact that milk prices are going up.]
In response to the increase in raw milk prices, major dairy companies such as Seoul Milk have decided to raise their factory prices by 5-9% starting Thursday.
If this happens, a liter of white milk sold at the mart will go up to at least 2,800 won.
As the price of butter and fresh cream made from milk continues to rise, the concerns of self-employed people who use dairy products are deepening.

The local bakery in particular is in trouble.
This is because the price of milk is added to the price of flour, which has soared this year.
[President of Bakery: Other ingredients have also increased, but even milk has risen, so I can't describe the burden from the point of view of a small shop.]
The price of eggs, which are used a lot in bread, has already risen by 10% compared to last year, and the trend of winter season is coming .
Influenza is spreading, so prices are likely to rise further.
Since last month, 12 farms across the country have been confirmed with avian influenza, and 834,000 poultry have been buried.
As the price of food ingredients rises and the self-employed have limits to endure, it seems that consumers' high prices will deepen.
