E-kalathi: Price deviations up to 207% – Consumers Association raises competition issue

A recent study by the Cyprus Consumers Association on the e-kalathi platform reveals price discrepancies of up to 207% across various products. Conducted on September 12, 2026, the research highlights a lack of strong competition among supermarkets and identifies errors in price entries. The Association, led by Marios Drousiotis, urges consumers to avoid purchasing overpriced goods and calls on authorities to re-evaluate the product list, noting that many items are unavailable in most stores.
