The Vice President of the Association of Small and Medium Traders warns that limiting private label products may cause price increases.

The Vice President of the National Association of Small and Medium Traders in Romania has issued a warning regarding possible price increases of food in stores, following the request of the Minister of Agriculture to limit the volume of private label products. This measure, requested at the European Union level, could affect the prices and accessibility of food products for consumers. The association emphasizes that private label products are essential for maintaining competitiveness and diversity of the offer in stores, and restricting them could have a negative impact on the market and on family budgets.
