Dimitri, cherries are expensive here too, at least when compared to
peaches. First batches (in late may or early june), arrive at 6 eur/kilo
(say 3 eur / pound), but now are cheaper, about 2,50 eur /kilo.
About gasoline, the Euro effect had an interesting side effect. While our
salaries are rising at 2-3% annually, prices are getting European in a fast
pace and now there is not the price gap it used to be with prices for
gasoline in, say, France. Currently paying 0,95 eur/l for diesel and about
1,02 eur/l for unleaded fuel 95 octanes.
Prices of fruit and vegetables in the EU are mostly under monetary
subsides, and this is why they are so cheap. France copes most of the
subsides, with Spain getting his part also. That explains the price gap.
Best,
Santiago
