Finnish cucumber at supermarket 6€/kg….

  1. 4.99 euros is quite regular for local cucumbers in Estonia as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if some place already sold them with over 5 euros.

  2. So if a large cucumber is around 300g that’s around €1.80 each. Here they’re 43p or a quid if you go organic. I do like little cucumber and cheese cream sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

  3. Wont be long until the kids are going to start flashing cucumbers in the street to signal how wealthy they are.

  4. Imagine cucumbers being expensive when grown in the middle of the arctic winter in a greenhouse.

  5. Inflation is high right now… Groceries are getting more expensive. The main causes are the pandemic, supply shortages, increased demand, and employee changes. According to a recent report the overall prices of groceries increased 6.5% last year, which makes it the largest increase in over a decade!

  6. Cooked an English Christmas Dinner in Norway at Christmas. 12€ for a kilo or parsnips!! Same for sprouts!

    Same in the UK was about 1€.

    Next year I’m smuggling in my own veg.

  7. The funny things is that here in Estonia the cucumber is sold for 2e/kg …and its imported from Finland 😀

  8. In Croatia it’s 4.80€/kg for those cucumbers, and if we compare wages, which are 3x higher in Finland. They are quite cheaper in Finland.

  9. This is the price for DOMESTIC cucumbers. It’s winter, there has to be very special green house conditions to cultivate in the dead or cold, dark winter, hence the price.

    Imported cucumbers are a lot cheaper

  10. That’s about 2.3€ per cucumber. With the gdp of Finland taken into account. That’s not that bad.
