Staple foods are up to 583% more expensive from the farm to the supermarket.

FACUA-Consumers in Action has detected an increase of up to 583% in the price of certain basic foodstuffs in supermarkets compared to their price at source. This is one of the conclusions drawn from the study carried out by the association, which compared the amount paid to the farmer for producing a product with the price at which the consumer subsequently buys it at the point of sale (See table, in Spanish only).

In this analysis, ten products have been taken into account, including fruit, vegetables, pulses, olive oil and sunflower oil. The prices at origin have been obtained and/or calculated with the data published by the Ministry of Agriculture
