Quick Summary:

Chinese imports, often priced at about a third of locally made kimchi, have surged over the past two decades to account for 40% of the domestic market for commercially made kimchi.

Korean kimchi makers are hoping the government's plan will at least prevent home-grown producers from losing further ground.

According to an official at the Hanaro Mart supermarket chain, sales of ready-made kimchi have climbed 20% since August compared to the same period from a year earlier.
