South Korean merchants "grab" cabbage "Kimchi crisis" orders do not earn

South Korea's Kimchi crisis has brought business opportunities to Chinese cabbage. Although many cabbages in our province were not on the market, Qingdao's vegetable export processing companies were busy with the process of harvesting Chinese cabbage from the northeast and they also obtained a share of the “kimchi” meal.

>>Northeast cabbage shipped from Jiaozhou, South Korea

Yang Peixi, who lives in Buffalo Village, Jiaozhou, Qingdao, followed a South Korean boss who has been collecting food for seven to eight years. This year, the owner hurriedly asked him to buy cabbage that could make kimchi. He collected cabbage from Heilongjiang and exported it directly to South Korea after simple packaging in Qingdao. Over the past few days, South Korean bosses personally supervised the processing and transportation of vegetables.

Dozens of middle-aged women have a clear division of labor. Some cut off the roots of cabbage, some wrap cabbage in wrappers, and others directly put cabbage in bags. On the afternoon of the 11th, the reporter walked into a factory building in Buffalo Village, Jiaozhou, Qingdao. What was seen was a busy scene. The cabbage in the courtyard filled the reporter with the mistaken idea that it was already in winter.

A busy middle-aged woman told reporters that they were villagers in nearby villages and were temporarily recruited to pack cabbage.

The reporter saw on the scene that there were a total of three warehouses in the factory, and each warehouse was filled with cabbages that had already been packaged. After the label is loaded, it can be exported directly to South Korea.

“These were all collected from Heilongjiang and Heilongjiang. After transiting in Shouguang, Weifang, they were transported to Qingdao. The next step will be direct exports to South Korea.”

Yang Peixi introduced that the local cabbage had to be listed for more than a month. Now it is catching up with the Northeast cabbage market. The 100 tons of cabbage in the factory are all from Heilongjiang. After the relevant certification is confirmed, these cabbages will be exported to South Korea through waterway containers.

>> The town's total "mobilization" processing Chinese cabbage

On the 11th, Guozhuang Town, the largest vegetable export processing base in Pingdu, cabbage, radish, and green onions, etc. were still lying “in the middle of Daejeon,” but in the processing workshops of more than a dozen agricultural products Co., Ltd. in the entire town, Workers in South Korea processing all kinds of vegetables are always on the go. In a food processing plant near the intersection of Guozhuang Township and Renzhao Town in Pingdu City, more than 40 tons of white radish piled up at the plant site, and at the other end of the plant, hundreds of cartons marked with the word Busan of South Korea were waiting for filling. .

In Guozhuang Town's Hometown Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. and Yongfangyuan Foods Co., Ltd., several cars and cabbages from Heilongjiang are also being transported into the workshop. “Three hundred dollars and four cents are transported in a pound, and this time, Korean cabbage price increases. The export price of kimchi has also increased by 20% to 30%," said a person in charge of the surname stone of the Homeland Agricultural Products Co., Ltd., “Qingdao's autumn cabbage has to be listed 20 days before, but the kimchi is a business opportunity. We can't miss it. Now the company has shipped more than 50 tons of Chinese cabbage from Heilongjiang, and there are still many cars on the road.” And the reporter learned from Guozhuang Town that in order to be able to obtain a slice of Korean kimchi business opportunities, the entire town of ten Several large kimchi companies currently import raw vegetables from the northeast for processing and production.

>> "Kimchi crisis" orders are not good earned

“I was negotiating with two South Korean merchants in the morning. They were in a hurry and had a lot of volume. Today they asked me to ask me to order 20 containers of vegetables. We must have green onions, cabbages, radishes and cabbages,” said Guozhuang, Pingdu City. Liu Zengyao, party secretary of the township's town of Zhazikou Village, said that the rural credit cooperatives in their villages have been export processing trade with South Korea all the year round. At the end of September this year, sudden vegetable orders were sent to the country like “snow flakes”. Liu Zengyao said that orders are now full in October and people in the village are rushing to process. However, a container is 15 tons of vegetables. It is almost impossible to transport these vegetables from the northeast and finish processing them in the short term.

The reporter learned that although the export threshold has been reduced, the money in the Korean vegetable market is still not profitable. The large amount of time is on the one hand, and a large number of Korean vegetable exports have also made marine containers a “hot commodity”. "We have goods now, but the container bookings are scheduled for the next month." Zhang Chengyou, the deputy mayor of Guozhuang Town, also stated that vegetable orders have increased substantially. However, their vegetable export villages are still not ready. The scale of production is a problem. The entire town's external transportation and liaison has also become a problem.
