Green Party Proposes Mandatory Price Comparison App for Grocery ShoppingThe Green Party parliamentary group has put forward a proposal aimed at improving price transparency within the grocery sector through the introduction of a mandatory price comparison application. The suggested app would not only display price information, but also notify users about any changes in product packaging sizes. The Green Party's proposal seeks to lower the barrier to price awareness by providing easily accessible, up-to-date information through a mobile application. The Green Party contends that, in times of crisis, supermarkets often apply additional markups to already rising prices, impacting household budgets. The Green Party seeks to prohibit supermarkets from purchasing products below production costs, a practice that can squeeze farmers and agricultural producers.
