South Korea sea salt demand grows ahead of Japan's Fukushima contaminated water release

South Korea is experiencing a significant surge in sea salt demand and panic buying, driven by public fears surrounding Japan's impending release of contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
This heightened demand has caused sea salt sales to increase by 40-50% for some retailers, leading to supply shortages and a nearly 27% price hike in early June.
Despite South Korean authorities vowing to monitor salt farms and maintain a ban on Fukushima seafood, over 85% of the public opposes Japan's plan, fearing pollution, health risks, and a decline in seafood consumption.
