0. Executive Summary
Judgment axis | detail |
| Item Identity | Cabbage is a head-forming leafy vegetable belonging to the genus Brassica of the family Brassicaceae; MarketHub manages the representative common head type as Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata. Since this variety name is sometimes treated as a synonym for B. oleracea in the International Classification of Plants, the history of scientific name standardization is also managed. ( Plants of the World Online ) |
| Key role | It is a highly versatile head leafy vegetable used not only as whole cabbage and fresh retail vegetables, but also as an ingredient for salads, shredded vegetables, dining out, school meals, meal kits, HMR, pickles, fermentation, and food processing. Kew data also explains that cabbage from the Capitata Group is finely chopped for use in salads and is utilized in fermented cabbage products. ( Plants of the World Online ) |
| Harvesting principle | Check bulb size, head condition, weight, firmness, outer leaves, pests and diseases, cracks, wounds, and rot, and link the harvest date–sorting–pre-cooling–storage–shipping history to a Lot. |
| Product separation | Whole cabbage, trimmed cabbage, cut/shredded cabbage, washed cabbage, salad ingredients, processed ingredients, red cabbage, etc., are separated by Product Type, variety, color, and processing stage. |
| Separation of similar items | Since Napa cabbage belongs to the B. rapa lineage, it is a separate Plant Entity; however, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale differ in their commercialization organizations and product roles even though they belong to the same B. oleracea species group. Brussels sprouts are also managed as a separate product group. |
| Domestic statistics | The finalized values for the nationwide cabbage cultivation area and production volume by item for 2025 are not entered arbitrarily, as direct verification with official raw data has not been completed at this registration stage. They will be entered along with the base year and unit at a later date after verification of the raw data from the National Statistical Crop Production Survey/KOSIS. |
| Cultivation characteristics | The Rural Development Administration's Nongsaroo classifies cabbage cultivation types into spring, summer, autumn, and overwintering, and manages sowing, seedling cultivation, transplanting, and growth management differently for each type. ( Nongsaroo ) |
| Supply and demand risk | Physiological disorders such as unheaded heads, premature bolting, and splitting caused by high or low temperatures and moisture imbalances, as well as diseases and pests including clubroot, wilt, and downy mildew, moths, aphids, and leaf beetles, can affect quality and production stability. ( Nongsaroo ) |
| Quality and Safety | The National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service designates cabbage as an item under agricultural product standard specifications management, and classifies cabbage and Brussels sprouts as head leafy vegetables for the application of pesticide residue standards. ( National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service ) |
| Operating Principles | Separate and link origin, cultivation type, variety, growing area, harvest date, weight, grade, lot, pesticide residue, microorganisms, washing, cutting, storage, and shipment history. |
| Final goal | Connects RFQs with delivery, claim, and repurchase data from producers, origin distributors/APCs, pre-processing/processing companies, catering/restaurants, meal kits/HMRs, distribution/PBs, and import/export buyers. |

3. Production, Harvest & Post-harvest
The Rural Development Administration's Nongsaroo provides work schedules for cabbage cultivation, categorized into spring, summer, autumn, and overwintering, with sowing times varying depending on the crop type. It also identifies physiological disorders such as premature bolting, splitting, and under-heading, as well as major diseases including clubroot, wilt, and downy mildew. Therefore, for cabbage, it is necessary to manage data on crop type, weather, moisture, and pests/diseases in conjunction with the production lot. ( nongsaro.go.kr )
