[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Since the beginning of the year, the price of soju sold at large discount stores and convenience stores has been reduced by up to 10%.
According to the distribution industry on the 2nd, E-Mart lowered the price of the 360ml Chamisul Fresh and original product by 10% from 1,480 won to 1,330 won from the previous day.
Like the first one with the same capacity, it was lowered from 1,380 won to 1,320 won and from 1,290 won to 1,260 won, respectively.
Lotte Mart cut the price of Chamisul Fresh and Original (360ml) by 9.5% from 1,480 won to 1,340 won, and Jinro Is Bag by 9.2% from 1,420 won to 1,290 won, respectively.
Lotte Mart is considering cutting prices this month, just like the first one manufactured by Lotte Chilsung Beverage.
Homeplus lowered the price of Chamisul Fresh and Original (360ml) by 9.4% from 1,490 won to 1,350 won, and 2.2% from 1,380 won to 1,350 won, respectively.
This is because the government cut soju taxes by about 10% from the previous day, and soju makers began supplying soju at pre-cut prices to stabilize prices early.
Hite Jinro lowered the shipping price of Chamisul and Jinro by 10.6% on December 22 last year. Since December 27 last year, Lotte Chilsung Beverage has lowered its shipping prices by 4.5% and 2.7%, respectively, as did the first time.
There are small price differences by large discount stores and convenience stores, reflecting the reduction rate of store prices, inventory conditions, and existing selling prices.
