A man is seen picking out a milk carton pack at a discount mart in downtown Seoul on Sunday.
Due to price hikes in milk since last year, imported sterilized milk is emerging as a new alternative due to its cheaper price tag.
In 2023, imports of sterilized milk reached 37,000 tons, up 18.9 percent compared to the year before, according to a report from the Korea Rural Economic Institute.
