The cost of the Lunar New Year's Day in Seoul was 224,000 won for traditional markets and 258,000 won for large supermarkets.

The Seoul Agricultural and Fishery Food Corporation said on the 13th that it compared the prices of 34 major holy water items based on families of six to seven in 25 places, including traditional markets, large supermarkets, and Garak Mall in the city.

Compared to last year, purchase costs increased by 1% in traditional markets and 2.5% in large supermarkets.

By item, traditional markets sold pears, dried persimmons, dates, chestnuts, bracken and spinach, pollack, and Korean beef Yangji at low prices, while large supermarkets sold apples, radishes, rice, flour, and sikhye at low prices.

The corporation explained that although some fruits and vegetables are on the rise due to reduced production, livestock and fisheries prices are relatively stable.
