When we cut the price for bananas by 1 ruble, we sell 100 tons a day more... There are people who live within their budget.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We ask from the heart that supermarkets, which are now more profitable and selling more, help us to take care of the pocketbook of the people by not raising prices.
Commodity prices are at a record high. In 1933, the world's population was just over 2 billion people. Today, there are 7 billion mouths to feed - many of them depending on American agriculture.
Frankly, if you can sell something at $80 a tonne that cost you $20 a tonne, you might want to sell as much as you can.
The same ten dollars you spend on lunch is all it costs for City Harvest to feed 37 kids who are hungry. That's pretty astounding.
To ask a country with 750 million people living on less than a dollar a day to optimize their development for the environment as opposed to getting food in the mouths of these people and giving them a decent lifestyle, that's just a little bit too much to ask.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
The easier things are to buy, the more we consume.
For me, the opposite of scarcity is not abundance. It's enough. I'm enough. My kids are enough.
A consumer doesn't take anything away: he doesn't actually consume anything. Giving the same thing to a thousand consumers is not really any more expensive than giving it to just one.
