Increases in foodstuffs, the difference with the surroundings is in the fresh products. In San Marino the increase in prices is about double the higher than in Rimini. The data are very clear and pitiless
In recent days, a San Marino supermarket has published data tending to deny what was declared by the CSdL regarding a persistent and, in our opinion, unjustified increase in food prices compared to the surrounding area. For this reason, packaged products were mentioned that can be found on the shelves of San Marino and Rimini.
In fact, but this has already been highlighted in the past, the average difference in the bread maker that makes up the item “Food products and non-alcoholic drinks” is about double to the detriment of San Marino consumers, but is due in particular to the increase in fresh products.
In this regard, we publish the official data of the San Marino Statistics Office and of the Rimini ISTAT relating to last March, which show the veracity of what was stated by the CSdL. Going back in time, anyone can experience even greater differences.
Considering that few families can afford to shop for kilometers each time to buy fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, it is clear that the San Marino citizens are forced to bring them into the territory, even if not at all. We can argue about the reasons for this price trend, but not about the numbers.
