Farmers Best Kefen

Guest

8 years ago

I thought I saw fresh Swiss kefen on sale in the Migros newspaper. Unfortunately, I was wrong. When I went to Migros Zurich Witikon today, there were no snow peas in the fresh vegetables, only Farmers Best in the frozen vegetables. Unfortunately, I didn't have a magnifying glass with me and couldn't find out where the product came from. It was only when I got home that I found it - "produit chinoise". In the middle of summer, when every greengrocer on every corner and every wholesaler sells fresh vegetables from Swiss production without boasting "from the region for the region", Migros ONLY sells Chinese vegetables
I avoid buying Chinese products whenever possible. Migros only sells industrial products such as knives, bowls, etc. from China. They boast "we sell over 1000 products from our own production" I would like to know what it is. Only inferior Chinese goods to optimize profits. Shame on you for being a Swiss company.

If you add up all the Midor biscuits, all the Jowa breads, all the Schoggi-Frey products and the Aproz range, you probably end up with around 1000 different products. A box of vanilla ice cream sticks already contains 12, of which there are usually several packs, not to mention the many other varieties. You can easily get 1000 pieces and 1000 pieces of various Migros-produced goods are available in every branch, so the Migros statement is definitely true.

In addition, advertising slogans such as "from us, from here" or "from the region for the region" have a different meaning for Migros than for some consumers. You always have to read the small print very carefully, like an insurance contract. If it doesn't say "Switzerland", then either the packaging itself or the packaging work is meant. Expressions such as "here" or "region" are very flexible terms. Asia may be a different continent, but it has grown together with Europe. China could therefore be described as a region of this land mass. I didn't know this either until recently, but we customers obviously think in too small dimensions when we associate the two aforementioned terms with a place nearby.

Their comments are just as stupid as the Migros statements. "From the region for the region" is supported by a TV commercial. Have you ever seen gooks there?
Sure, you can make 1000 variations of a product (e.g. fruit yogurt, herbal tea, etc.). But that is no explanation for the fact that during the season in which fresh vegetables are available, only DEEP-FROZEN CHINESE PEPPERS are on sale. I think it's more likely that the local peas are kept in stock until the idiots who go shopping without magnifying glasses pick up the Chinese crap. It's probably the store manager's fault. I've already had to complain to him a few times because the focus is not on the customer but on profit.
Your comparison with the insurance contract corresponds roughly to your level of education - stupid.

Yikes, where did you run off to? You should refrain from using negative or derogatory expressions like "gooks" here. I have something interesting for you to read, especially the last line of section "a".

In the past few days @Tanja_Migros quoted from it, I'm sure she could explain the recommended passage to you if you don't understand it.

If you missed the sarcastic context of my post above, then that also says something about your level of education. Combined with your obvious mentality expressed by your choice of words here, I don't think it paints a sympathetic picture of you.

Hello everyone

I urge you both to discuss fairly here and to refrain from insults or mutual provocation. It is important to us that everyone adheres to the Migipedia rules that Reliefpfeiler has already linked to.

@JiruchaI'm already in the process of finding out why we currently - during the season - don't have any fresh kefen in our range and why we use foreign products for the frozen kefen. As soon as I know more, I'll get back to you here.

Kind regards

Migros currently has "fresh" peas from Kenya/Guatemala/Peru on offer at LeShop! Environmental protection is apparently not very important to Migros.

Hello everyone

There are Swiss producers who supply fresh snow peas, but never in large quantities. In order to achieve good quality, kefen must be harvested by hand, as the person responsible for the product range explained to me.

For these two reasons - small quantities and hand harvesting - as well as the higher wages and social costs incurred in Switzerland, the price for this product would be very high. Many customers are not prepared to pay such high prices.

Kind regards
