Discount available

Onions pile up at a discount mart in Seoul on Monday. The agricultural cooperative Nonghyup on Monday started selling fresh produce including onions, scallions and potatoes at a maximum discount price of 39 percent after an unusual cold earlier this year hiked the price of those items. While the price of Napa cabbages soared 118.3 percent last month compared to a year ago, onion prices went up more than 70 percent. [NEWSIS]
