양파 생산량 159만톤… “39년간 최고 수준”

A record crop of onions has been produced in Korea, despite a drop in farmland that grows the vegetable.
So far this year, nearly one-point-six million tons of onions have been produced - the largest amount since records began.
The figure is a near five percent rise from last year.
Onion prices have also plummeted recently, causing concern for farmers.
