The price of apples is not justified, checks will be carried out, the Minister of Rural Development and Food explained to SKAI and Giorgos Autias George Georgantas.

“Apples are one of the products that there is specific data, and we investigate it as to its reliability. The prices of the producers do not justify the prices on the shelves,” he said. “The apple producers gave me specific examples,” he emphasized. “If the alleged acts of profiteering are proven, the prescribed fines will be imposed,” he added.

“Checks on the market are daily, fines are imposed and will be intensified. In the street markets, most of the sellers are also producers, there are no serious indications of excessive prices, but the street markets are monitored as well as the whole supply system and we do checks” explained the Minister of Rural Development and Food.

As far as the household basket the minister stated that it will start from November 4, noting that it is necessary to monitor the entire course of the product from the producer to the shelf.

“The government proved during the crisis that it intervenes continuously without having a fiscal derailment, I think that wherever else it is needed it will intervene, it has proven it,” he also emphasized, commenting on the information about a third Fuel Pass.
