This week I bought cucumbers for CHF 1.00 each. It's mid-October. In the summer, a cucumber cost 1.70
Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Isn't it the price difference between cucumbers from Switzerland in the summer and those from abroad now? That's what I'd imagine, anyway 🤔

Yes, it's always been that way. If energy—and thus transportation—were finally taxed in an environmentally responsible way instead of labor, this illogical situation would be eliminated. But then again...
I can't say for sure that the cucumber came from Switzerland this summer.
But yeah, what you're saying could be true.

Even a cucumber imported from abroad would be more expensive in the summer than in the winter because it is subject to high tariffs designed to protect domestic production: https://www.blw.admin.ch/de/einfuhr-von-frischem-obst-und-gemuese
For this reason, and because the administrative burden would be quite significant, very few foreign cucumbers enter Switzerland in the summer.
