The trade center for independent retail entrepreneurs says that rising prices in the supermarket have to do with the result of higher raw material prices, increasing wage costs and higher rental costs. “Products food have passed on these costs to the supermarkets, which in turn had little choice than to partially pass this on to the consumer,” says the trade association.
Supermarkets including Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Lidl refused today to come to the Lower House to talk about the high prices of products. The companies were invited to explain the high prices.
