As an early heatwave that began at the start of this month has triggered a phenomenon known as "heatflation," the price of agricultural products has been rising. Over the past week, the price of a single watermelon has exceeded 30,000 won, and the prices of vegetables particularly sensitive to heat, such as napa cabbage and spinach, have also increased.
