According to a survey of 550 consumers by the Korea Rural Economic Research Institute, 54% said they would make kimchi similar to last year's, and 36% said they would reduce the size.
The most common reason for reducing the size was that 42 percent said it was expensive, followed by a decrease in consumption and a convenient purchase of kimchi on the market.
This year, the size of kimchi for a family of four was 18.5, which was less than 19.9 last year.
Half of the consumers chose late November to early December as the kimchi-making period, but 11.5% said it was after mid-December.
The Rural Economic Research Institute analyzed that the willingness to make kimchi after mid-December has increased due to the high price of cabbage this year.
In addition, 96% of the respondents said they were not willing to buy Chinese cabbage.
As of today, the retail price of cabbage, compiled by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, rose nearly 40% year-on-year to 9,123 won per head.
