Recently, there has been a special group of passengers at Qingdao airport, who fly between Qingdao and Seoul, but for an unexpected purpose: they are going to South Korea to resell grain. These people are called "grain customers" and fly large quantities of grain to South Korea every day to sell. Although they mainly take advantage of cheap air tickets and the difference in food prices between the two countries to make profits, their actions have already posed a serious threat to flight safety. This article will analyze this phenomenon and take countermeasures.
According to reports, there have been frequent incidents of similar "machine disturbances" at Qingdao Airport recently, in which a man carrying a large amount of food was blocked because his boarding luggage was overweight, and he smashed his suitcase in anger, causing the flight to be delayed. This incident attracted a lot of attention from social ** and revealed a speculative group that was little known to the public. According to the introduction, these "food passengers" are not just an isolated phenomenon, but a common phenomenon on the recent Qingdao to Seoul route. These people, under the command of the unified organization, flew to South Korea every day with large quantities of vacuum-compressed food, and they even became senior members of the airline. However, these "food passengers" not only put pressure on flight safety, but also caused concern.
Behind the speculation: Grain Travelers are a group of speculators who take advantage of the cheap air tickets on flights between China and South Korea and the difference in the price of grain between the two countries to transport grain to South Korea through "human flesh" to sell it, so as to make huge profits.
South Korea's food prices**: In 2019, as one of the top ten news in South Korea, "the vegetable basket** has risen wildly, exacerbating the burden on the people" has attracted widespread attention. Korean food**Inflation rateExceeded the total for two consecutive yearsInflation rateThe price of rice has reached its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, at about 2,625 won per kilogram of rice, 15 won higher than last year5%。
Rice production decreases: due to global fertilizers*** andFarmersDue to the decrease in planting area, South Korea's rice production is expected to decrease by 2 year-on-year this year1%, and inventories are also lower than in previous years. This has led to the continuation of food **, which in turn has triggered price increases in the catering and food processing industries.
People's income and food consumption: South Koreans' disposable income has not kept pace with the growth of food**, and they have had to spend more of their income on food. On the contrary, the proportion of food consumption has also increased by 7%, which provides profit margins for "food customers".
Safety hazard: The weight of a large amount of food carried by food passengers exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the luggage rack, which will not only cause the luggage rack to be broken, but also pose a serious threat to the flight safety.
Countermeasures: The airport has taken a series of measures to address the behavior of food passengers. However, these measures have not achieved the desired results. The food travelers made the **, and as soon as the airport did not allow them to get on the plane, they would create a riot. Therefore, it is necessary to take stricter measures in a timely manner to stop the behavior of food customers.
Although the behavior of the food customers not only violates aviation safety regulations at home and abroad, but also has a negative impact on the grain market in South Korea, we also need to see some problems from their behavior. South Korea's food supply is a burden on the population and exposes the imbalance between their income growth and consumer demand. On the other hand, the emergence of food customers is also a reflection of market supply and demand. in the settlementFood securityAt the same time, we should also pay attention to the consumerPurchasing powerand quality of life. A more balanced and sustainable solution can only be found by putting people first and taking into account the interests of all parties. It is hoped that the relevant departments can strengthen management and supervision, ensure the safety of flights, maintain the order of the market, and bring a better quality of life to the people.
