Adrian Echert, despre evoluția prețurilor la alimente: „Diferența nu e de politică, ci de geografie”

Coffee prices have risen by 20% in the past year, while potatoes have decreased by 14%. Deputy Adrian Echert explains that price formation is influenced by geography rather than politics. Coffee prices are driven by international markets, particularly affected by poor harvests in Brazil and Vietnam. In contrast, potato prices have dropped due to a good harvest and high supply. The state can influence taxes and infrastructure but not weather conditions affecting crops. Echert warns against artificial price caps, citing past experiences with energy prices.
