“Che cosa è sufficiente?” — L’aumento dei prezzi dei prodotti alimentari si profila mentre la Finlandia si muove per frenare i marchi privati ​​dei supermercati

In LIDL we trust, I guess.

This protectionism makes no sense.

Finland is simply not a good place to do agriculture. If they can’t compete with imports then I would say just give up.

Consumers are already squeezed by the cost of living crisis. I don’t have any sympathy left with uncompetitive farmers.

They are not wrong on this one. Private labels is crappy cheap food anyway. I wish we had more Herkku stores and more stores that sell fresh organic foods directly from the farms. Everyone would be happier and healthier. If someone thinks that they don’t have enough money to afford real food then they can just eat less. It is still healthier than consuming toxic highly-processed foods sold under the private labels

I’m more concerned that Pirkka was apparently phased out for Coop in most lines. Although Nordic-focused, [Coop](https://www.cooptrading.com) is an international conglomerate originating from Denmark rather than a Finnish-owned and operated entity. If we’re going to have “store brands”, I’d much rather them be domestic and local.
