Considering the general IPOD, “for the 24 agri-foods in the basket, 19 of fruit and vegetable origin and 5 from livestock, the consumer paid 3.6 times more than what the producer charged for the second consecutive month,” they pointed out from CAME.
In this regard, the five agrifoods that registered the greatest gap turned out to be lemon (+17.1), zucchini (+15.7), carrot (+10.6), red apple (+9.3) and orange (+ 7.4).
According to the entity’s report, the agrifood producers with the greatest gaps between field and shelf agreed on “the lack of reference prices, caused by the instability of the macroeconomy and its impact on the price of the main inputs used by the agricultural production”. Likewise, in the case of citrus fruits, the gap was attributed to “the alterations caused by the war in Ukraine”.
