Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation officials inspect cabbage imported from China at one of the corporation's storage facilities in Icheon, Gyeonggi.
The government started importing napa cabbage from China starting Sept. 27 to stabilize domestic supply and mitigate price hikes of the kimchi staple to brace for the upcoming kimjang (kimchi-making) season.
The average retail price of napa cabbage reached 9,337 won on Sept. 19, breaking the record this year to jump 69.4 percent compared to the previous year.
