I just wanted to share with you my astonishment at seeing oranges from South Africa in French-speaking Switzerland on Saturday! Migros promotes local produce and proximity, and you highlight the work you're doing to protect the climate and biodiversity, but why bring in oranges from South Africa, chives from Ethiopia or basil from Kenya (for example) when all these products could come from closer by? I'm a loyal Migros customer but I'm shocked by the way things work and would like an explanation. Thank you in advance for your news.
Hello Laulau1123, thank you for your message. Migros always buys its products in the closest possible geographical region. Of course, the availability and high quality we demand, as well as product safety, must be guaranteed. When a product is in season in Switzerland, and there are sufficient goods available from domestic production, we buy our products in Switzerland. It is not without reason that Migros is an important partner of Swiss agriculture, and strives to help market all domestic production. We support local producers and put them to work, but we also take on an international responsibility and make an important contribution to development aid in Third World countries. The decisive factor here is that the origin of Migros products is clearly declared, so that every customer can freely decide what to buy and what not to buy. Further information on Migros' commitment to people, animals and nature can be found at https://generation-m.migros.ch/fr.html Sincerely, your M-Infoline team

How are fruit and vegetables transported from Italy and Spain to Switzerland? By land or water?

...with a backpack over the mountains, booooaaaaaaah have you ever looked at the map of Europe, you seriously have the feeling that it goes over Holland and Rhine shipping.
Yes, you don't have to be an expert to know that 99% of goods are transported to us from Italy or Spain by truck or train. First to a coastal region? Then by ship to Holland or Hamburg? Then by truck? Or via the Rhine to Basel? It still has to be loaded onto a truck again!
Hello M-Oskari, this can vary from product to product. We transport oranges to Switzerland by truck. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
