Baskin Robbins to raise prices of 46 products by average 5.9% from Oct. 12
Версия 3: No new facts in the increase itself; a tech outlet joined the coverage, repeating the same figures, product names and company statement.
Коротко
Baskin Robbins said on Oct. 6 it will raise prices of 46 products — 16 ice creams and 30 beverages and others — by an average 5.9% starting Oct. 12. A “Single Regular” ice cream goes from 3,900 to 4,300 won and a “Quart” from 18,500 to 19,900 won, while “Cafe31 Americano” rises from 5,300 to 5,500 won. The company said higher raw material and other costs made the adjustment unavoidable, and it is the first increase since August 2023.

Among the named products, the ice cream “Single Regular” rises from 3,900 won to 4,300 won and the ice cream “Quart” from 18,500 won to 19,900 won. “Cafe31 Americano” is adjusted from 5,300 won to 5,500 won. [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 ]

The move comes amid a series of price increases in South Korea's food and dining sector. Asia Economy reported that companies including CJ CheilJedang, Ottogi, Nongshim, Pulmuone, Paris Baguette, Tous Les Jours, Haitai and Woongjin have raised product prices following June's local elections. Seoul Economic Daily reported that Haitai raised prices of 25 brand products, including Oh Yes, Home Run Ball, Pocky and Hyang Man Du, by an average 7.8% on Oct. 1, and that Woongjin raised about 20 items such as Morning Sunshine, Green Plum and Sky Barley by an average 7%. [ 3 , 5 ]
One outlet's presentation of the figure differed internally: Asia Economy's headline said ice cream prices rise by an average 5.6%, while its article text and the other outlets put the average increase at 5.9% across the 46 products. [ 3 ]

Пока неясно
- Asia Economy's headline says ice cream prices rise by an average 5.6%, while its own article text states an average increase of 5.9%. The two figures appear in the same document, so the average for ice cream alone is not settled.
- The full list of the 46 products and the individual price of each is not given. Documents name only three products with before-and-after prices.
- Whether further increases are planned, or how long the new prices will stay in effect, is not stated. No document addresses this.
