The government\u2019s decision to impose movement restrictions on animal farms nationwide may result in shipment delays. These delays may increase feed costs and could potentially affect the quality of meat, which would consequently impact farmers\u2019 revenue. Moreover, these developments might lead to temporary disruptions in the food supply chain, potentially resulting in escalated prices or shortages of beef and related livestock products. This situation is particularly noteworthy given the recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.yna.co.kr\/view\/AEN20230404001054320\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rise in consumer prices<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The re-emergence of FMD, despite preventive measures such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chungbuk.go.kr\/fmd\/contents.do?key=3931\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vaccinations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and disinfection protocols, indicates a potential risk of a wider outbreak if not effectively contained. As concerns over domestic beef and livestock products increase among South Korean consumers, there could be a corresponding growth in demand for imported goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/business-economy\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Business &amp; Economy<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/culture-society\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Culture &amp; Society<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea\u2019s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced Thursday cases of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) at local farms, marking the first occurrence in over four years.
