A resident of Izrak called the TV and told about an unexpected problem: local vegetables are very inconveniently placed on store shelves. "Latvian products should be found at the bottom, almost crawling on the floor. An elderly person can fall and not even be able to get up on their own, the listener complained. She said she fell in the store and injured her side. Henriks Danosalts, president of the Latvian Merchants Association, explained that the location of the goods is due, in part, to the stores' desire to reduce costs. "To talk about the shelves, of course, the store wants to put more shelves in one row, so the sales are cheaper. Shores are like apartments: more of them, he explained. As for the source of products, according to Danusevics, the retail chains mainly try to offer customers cheaper products. This allows to attract buyers with low prices. "It is clear that tomatoes grown in Poland will be cheaper, because there are more opportunities for production and it is possible that mechanical processes are better," he said. Danusevics also cited Lidl stores, where low shelves with boxes of vegetables can be found at the exit of one euro. The quality of such products can vary, but such a sale allows you not to throw away vegetables, but to offer them to customers at a reasonable price. @news lv.
