Tomato and cucumber retail markups reach 150% in Bulgaria
Retail markups on tomatoes and cucumbers in Bulgaria have reportedly reached as high as 150%, meaning shoppers are paying up to two and a half times the wholesale price for these staple vegetables. The figures highlight the gap between producer and shelf prices, a persistent concern for consumers facing elevated food costs and for growers squeezed by low farm-gate prices.
Why now: Consumers in Bulgaria are sensitive to food price markups amid ongoing cost-of-living pressures.
