Fruit is becoming more and more expensive - despite a decline in inflation. Hardly any other product segment in the consumer price index is subject to such high jumps in price development.
Consumer advocates are also alarmed by the rising prices of some foods. The weather and the related harvest play a central role in the final price - as we all know, these are less reliable factors. For example, the harvest volume of bush berries in Germany fell by 3.7 percent last year compared to the previous year.
