Inflation has NL residents buying fewer organic products, meat substitutes

NL Times  

After years of constant growth in supermarkets and specialty stores, the current financial uncertainty has people buying significantly fewer meat substitutes and organic products, NOS reports. The popularity of meat substitutes in the Netherlands has skyrocketed in recent years, with sales increasing by 34 percent to 141 million euros in 2020, according to market researcher IRI. Last year meat substitutes were still 30 percent more expensive than fresh meat and game and poultry, now that is 20 percent," IRI researcher Sjanny van Beekveld said to NOS. With the energy bill in mind, people are increasingly ignoring the nice, local product in favor of the cheaper option," said LTO chairman Sjaak van der Tak.
