While everything seems to increase, and while families have less and less money left in their pockets, a question becomes more relevant than ever: what are the profit margins of large-scale distribution? To find out, the prices of meat, fish and vegetables on sale at Coop and Migros were carefully recorded from March to the end of August. During the same months, thanks to anonymous sources, the prices that Coop and Migros paid to their suppliers: farmers, breeders, fishermen were also noted.

And, perhaps, is greater transparency needed? ----------------------------------------------------- RSI Info is the information channel of Italian-speaking Switzerland that helps you understand events through reliable information, the sharing of targeted insights and authoritative content.
