Shoppers browse through rice products at a hyperscale mart in Seoul on Thursday. Rice prices have seen a continuous drop despite the government’s effort to curb the trend by purchasing 150,000 tons of rice.
The price of a 20-kilogram packet of rice was 44,619 won as of Aug. 5, a three percent drop compared to the previous month, according to the Agriculture Ministry. [NEWS1]
