few years in Italy, and in particular the entry into force of the euro, prices of fruits and vegetables, in transition from field to table, record the strange price increases. Consumers League to understand why the prices of fruit and vegetables from the farmer's hands to the tables of the Italians "mad" carried out a survey which showed how the price increase is not related to seasonal factors, as traders often justified, but a real speculation at the expense of producers and consumers, who can no longer be tolerated. For example, the peppers to the farmer is paid throughout the year at the same price, while the lack of competition and inefficiencies in the sector is helping turn a few cents per kilo paid to farmers in euro per kilo paid by the citizens / consumers.
From the same survey, we found other glaring "anomalies" For example, in October, when the season begins for the Kiwis, the farmers are given a price per kilo very low, but just at that month at wholesale, both at the supermarket, there are higher selling prices.
price developments are worrying for many other products of the earth, from eggplant to lettuce through the cauliflower, fennel and zucchini. In essence, therefore, retail prices often are higher than when the source is the minimum, a prime example came earlier this year with the dough, when in supermarkets marked a shameful price per kilo while the market for raw materials wheat prices had collapsed.
anomalies in our market are typical behaviors of the market with serious distortions of competition, in fact, if there was the wholesale price advantages to rise to attract new customers.
Consumers League recommends buying cheaper vegetables, look around and choose the most convenient stores. Again for the savings of consumers recommend buying fruit and vegetables directly from farmers (framers market). The absence of intermediaries, since the products do not have to travel long distances to transport expensive and polluting, it allows a discount of at least 30% of the average sales price indicated.
also recommend that you use the SMS service for consumers to constantly monitor the price trends of food and agricultural products. Consumers SMS is a service promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, innovative and totally free, it informs the user about the prices of food and agricultural products via SMS messaging. You will have the number 47947 where to send a message to request the price
just typing the name of the agri-food product that you want to know the price. The consumer receives the message by sending the information on each variety of the product, namely: average price for wholesale and national origin, updated weekly, and average sales price of macro-regional (North, Central and South), found daily. Every day you can send a maximum of five messages to request money for a total of 30 per month, additional requirements beyond those limits will not be taken into account. Retail prices, charged by 44 sensors spread across the country, are daily and are collected on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, while Sunday and Monday is the last valid entry on the Saturday. The exercises involved in the survey of retail prices are about 2200 and include several categories: discount, supermarket, market, supermarket and fruit and vegetable shops, butchers, fish and food products. The availability of daily rates will be at Starting from 13 and 30; before this time prices are valid on the day before.
