2023-04-20 18:07:41

In terms of the budget, eating five fruits and vegetables a day is becoming more and more complicated. Among the products that have grown the most are cucumbers, tomatoes. On the shelves, to find the lowest prices, it is often necessary to turn to foreign products, such as cherry tomatoes from Morocco sold half the price of French ones. The Légumes de France association denounces abusive margins applied by large retailers. It would favor products from abroad, as explained by Jean-Claude Guehennec, market gardener in Mesnil-le-Roi (Yvelines) in 20H of TF1. A kilo of round tomatoes, for example, is sold for an average of two euros by a cooperative. It is resold for four euros on the shelves of supermarkets. The cost of transport is only ten cents. The rest (1.90 euro) is the margin of the distributor who stores and puts the tomatoes on the shelves. Is it abusive? Only one sign wanted to communicate without really answering us. A piece of advice that will be useful to you: compare prices carefully. According to a study, the prices charged by greengrocers are now increasingly similar to those of supermarkets. TF1 | Report L.
