More expensive shopping in San Marino? The CSDL: “The difference with the surrounding area is in the fresh products”
The San Marino Confederation of Labor returns to talk about the increase in food prices in the Republic of San Marino.
“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 – declares the San Marino Confederation of Labor in a press release -. Indeed, but this has already been highlighted in the past, the average difference in bread making up the item ‘Food and non-alcoholic beverages’ is about double to the detriment of San Marino consumersbut it is due in particular to the increase in fresh products “.
In this regard, the San Marino trade union announces the official data of the San Marino Statistics Office and of the Istat of Rimini relating to last March, from which “the truthfulness of what is stated by the CSDL itself is shown” and, “going back to time, anyone will be able to find even greater differences ”.
“Considering that few families can afford to buy kilometers per territory each time to buy fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, it is clear that the San Marino citizens are forced to bring them in, even if it is not at all convenient. We can argue about the reasons for this price trend, but not about the numbers“, Finally says the CSDL itself.
