Low-Cost Food Basket Rollout Delayed Despite State Progress
A memorandum signed at the end of May aimed to introduce low-price basic food items in stores, with most selections expected in June. However, the state's tasks are mostly complete, but retail implementation has been delayed due to logistical challenges.
The memorandum outlined measures for the state, retailers, and producers. Despite expectations of visible price reductions within two weeks, this did not occur. The Minister of Economics acknowledged that food prices have not fallen as initially anticipated. The low-price food basket will comprise around 50 products, but specific details about which store locations will offer them remain unclear.
The state has largely fulfilled its responsibilities according to the memorandum. However, retail implementation is behind schedule due to logistical challenges. The search results do not provide specific information about the introduction of these low-price food item selections or the affected store locations.
While the state has made progress, retail implementation of low-price basic food items is delayed. The Minister of Economics has acknowledged the slower-than-expected price reductions. Further details on the specific food items and store locations offering these baskets are still awaited.
