Why can’t anyone open their own stores in Romania, and just sell quality food at reasonable prices?
- zzzcpan 9y agoThere is a lot of regulation on food exports and imports in the world, which limits availability and global competition, making it very hard to open their own stores with better food.
- valuearb 9y agoThe whole idea of the EU was you could import the same things under the same terms in every EU country. Why is that not happening here?
- timthelion 9y agoIn the Czech Republic, there are Vietnamese people who make their living buying food in Germany and selling it here. Doing so is illegal. I'm not sure why.
- valuearb 9y agoFind out why it’s illegal and you’ve likely pinpointed the real cause of the problem.
- ac29 9y agoIts probably not illegal necessarily, you can certainly sell imported food. The way they are doing it is probably illegal (loading up a van with food and driving it across the border without declaring it/having it inspected/having permits/etc).
- valuearb 9y agoIt should be possible to sell the same goods for roughly the same prices anywhere in the EU. My guess is the problem here is a lack of a demand for higher quality foodstuffs.
- timthelion 9y agoBut if the Vietnamese can make money selling German food for more than German prices (they have to make a profit ;) ) in the Czech Republic, then obviously demand exists.
