From village to supermarket: according to Faqua, food becomes more expensive by 875%.

Difference between how much do farmers charge for food? and the selling price of the same product in supermarkets is exorbitant. From the point of origin to the supermarket shopping cart, food becomes 875% more expensive.

This main conclusion analysis carried out by the consumer organization Facua-Consumidores en Acción.

To conduct this study, the organization took into account thirteen products among them there is fruits, vegetables, legumes, eggs and sunflower oil.

Faqua recalled that the government has been asking for many years double markso that consumers can know how much farmers charge for produce sold in supermarkets.

In this context, double marking will make it possible to recognize “Which companies inflate their profits the most? and which further penalize the commodity sector by forcing it to over-adjust its prices.”

A striking example is sunflower oil. Farmer receives salary 0.96 euros per literBye Its average price at points of sale is 2.00 euros per liter., 108% more. Similarly, a kilogram of lemons at the point of origin was paid at €0.20 at the beginning of January, while the price per kilogram at the point of sale averages €1.79, which is 695% more expensive.
