Background

The Korean food market has been seriously hit by the on-going COVID-19 outbreak. The report provided by Foreign Agricultural Service of USDA listed the main impacts. 

Report Highlights:

  • Consumers have reduced outdoor activities dramatically, including shopping and dining trips, since the first local infection reported on January 20, 2020. 

  • Food supplies are ample and prices have been stable. Online food sales have skyrocketed. 

  • Korean agricultural production is threatened by a shortage of migrant labor due to virus-related travel restrictions. Other inputs remain in sufficient supply. Market conditions have impacted some product exports and smaller producers that supply school cafeterias, which have been closed for a prolonged period.
