Smuggled Cabbage for Kimchi Season
In many regions of North Korea, a lack of fertilizer and the spring drought have resulted in a poor vegetable crop, making kimjang, the preparation of kimchi [a traditional fermented Korean side dish] for the winter, extremely difficult for residents. “The drought this year was so bad and the cabbage is infested with worms; we’ve got a lot of radishes, but not much else,” a source in Yangkang Province reported to the Daily NK on October 30th. “As kimjang season approaches, people are seriously worried about what they’re going to do.” “Some residents, in collusion with military officers and border guards, are bringing in cabbage and other vegetables from China at night to deal with the issue,” he explained.
