Wholesale auction prices

Where to get Korean wholesale auction price history

Today's prices are easy to find. The record of what each lot fetched, by market and grade, is scattered across free public sources and one paid desk. Here is what each gives you and who it suits, read from the sources themselves.

Sources checked on Oct 3, 2026

The short version

  1. 01For today's price and a trend line, aT's 농넷 is free and covers all 32 public wholesale markets. Start there.1
  2. 02For Seoul Garak and Gangseo lot by lot, Seoul's open data files are free, go back to 2017 and allow commercial use. We recommend them.4
  3. 03For Busan, Daegu, Gwangju and Daejeon lot by lot, we found no free source that keeps the record; the public real-time feed serves about 30 days. Auction Desk stores every day and shows the last 90, with price by grade, filters and clean CSV.7,9

Who each is right for

농넷
Growers and traders who want today's price and the trend at any public market. If daily aggregates answer your question, stop here. It is free.
KAMIS
Anyone tracking Seoul Garak's daily bulletin over years, or pulling it by API.
Seoul's open data files
Researchers and data teams who need Garak or Gangseo lot by lot, can work with large CSV files in Korean, and want a licence that allows commercial use. For Seoul, this is the free source we would point you to first.
Auction Desk
Sourcing, distribution and trade analysts who need the four regional markets lot by lot, all five markets on one per-kg basis, filters by origin, variety and package, grade comparisons across markets, and pages and CSV in English.

When Auction Desk is worth paying for

  • You need Busan, Daegu, Gwangju or Daejeon lot by lot. The public real-time feed served about 30 days when we measured it on 2026-10-02, and we found no free source that keeps those markets' lot history. Auction Desk stores every day and shows the last 90.7
  • You compare markets. Lots are sold per package, so we convert each to a price per kg and five markets read on one scale.
  • You filter and take the numbers with you: by declared origin, variety and package, then CSV with Korean and English headers, ready for a model or a deck.
  • You need grade. 특, 상, 중 and 하 at each market from settlement data, with the top-grade premium over time.
  • You read in English. Every page and export is bilingual.

When it is not

  • You only need today's price: 농넷 or our free auction pages are enough. The free pages show today by market and the last seven trading days.1,9
  • You only need Seoul Garak or Gangseo: Seoul's files are free and go back to 2017.4
  • You need every lot from all 32 markets: Auction Desk's lot-level data covers five (prices by grade reach further; see the methods note). An API for lots, daily summaries and grades comes with Auction Desk on the Team plan.
  • You want each lot the moment it sells: the free Korean apps stream the real-time feed, with ads. Our pages update once a night after the markets settle, and read just as well on a phone. One of those apps exports to Excel and charges ₩4,900 once to remove the ads.8

What it costs

$53 a month, all in

Premium at $24 a month plus Auction Desk at $29, on one bill.

Annual billing: $504 a year (Premium $228 plus Auction Desk $276).

On Team ($69 a month for up to five people), Auction Desk is $89 a month or $852 a year and covers every seat.

The 7-day free trial covers Premium and Auction Desk together. No card to start.

How we compared

We read each source's public pages on the dates below and wrote down what they say: coverage, how far back the data goes, whether rows are lots or aggregates, grade fields, exports and language. We did not sign in or buy anything. Where we could not verify something, the table says so.

Seoul also publishes a daily price per item and grade for Garak and Gangseo (OA-2664) from 2014. Those are aggregates rather than lots.6

The Auction Desk row describes what the pages serve today. If a source has changed, tell us through Help & feedback and we will correct this page.
