South Korea faces a kimchi (pickle) crisis as prices of cabbage and white radish soar. This is a warning to many countries, especially populous ones like China, says an article on Xinhua Daily Telegraph. Excerpts:

The rise in prices of some vegetables, especially cabbage and white radish, in South Korea is quite surprising. The average price of cabbage in South Korean markets and groceries this week is 10,000 won (about $8), five times the price last year.
