Oh no! One of our favourite foods has been hit by the economic downturn, according the the BBC. Despite kimchi’s status as a South Korean cuisine staple worthy of its own museum in Seoul, a kimchi trade deficit has reached $77.3 million over the last three years thanks to demand for cheaper Chinese-made product. There’s some good news for the kimchi-mad, however–South Korea has launched a $40 million campaign to increase the number of Korean restaurants around the world to 40,000 by 2017.
