Price and quality
The price data is collected from Supermarktscanner.nl, reflecting online prices from Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Plus, DekaMarkt, Dirk, and Hoogvliet. Prices are average figures, including promotions, but do not take into account the origin or quality of the products. Most supermarkets do not specify these details online, though Hoogvliet and Jumbo do indicate the country of origin. Consequently, the comparison might include unripe and ripe avocados or Spanish and Dutch cucumbers.
Notes on the data
Vomar consistently uses fixed prices online. Since 2022, avocados have been missing from Vomar's online range, and since week 24, so have Galia melons. Oranges from Hoogvliet and Vomar are sold in 1.5 kg nets, but prices are adjusted to a 2 kg equivalent. Jumbo sells vine tomatoes in packs of five rather than by weight, and for comparison, a weight of 100 grams per tomato is assumed.
