Due to the early heatwave that began earlier this month, a phenomenon known as "heatflation" has caused agricultural product prices to rise. Over the past week, the price of a single watermelon has exceeded 30,000 won, and the prices of vegetables that are particularly sensitive to heat, such as napa cabbage and spinach, have also increased. On July 14, watermelons are displayed at the Hanaro Mart Yangjae branch in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
