Aldi announced a major change in Hungarian stores
Change language:
All meat sold in the stores is going to come from Hungarian businesses starting in October.
Fresh, unprocessed meat is going to Aldi from Hungarian suppliers exclusively. Aldi’s supply policy has had the goal to buy the products from Hungarian suppliers since they stepped on the market in 2008 in the country. – writes novekedes.hu.
This is a good decision from many aspects. First of all, Hungarian customers can choose from quality products of their own taste. Secondly, Hungarian companies can plan their production based on a stable and predictable demand. Furthermore, thanks to the easy transport of goods, the carbon footprints can be reduced. Fresh meat arrives in the stores within 24 hours.
“In a statement in early September, the National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) drew attention to the fact that in Germany, some chains would increase the proportion of fresh pork of German origin to 95 per cent by the summer of 2022. NAK has called for a similar step for department store chains operating in Hungary, and it is gratifying that the example has found a domestic follower so quickly, which has significant benefits for Hungarian meat producers.” – wrote novekedes.hu based on what Balázs Győrffy, President of NAK said.
Meat can be ordered online from Aldi, and it is delivered to the customers’ homes. This is available at 34 localities of the Budapest agglomeration. It is also available in Pécs, Székesfehérvár, Szeged and near Lake Balaton. Aldi also expands the variety of the products they sell. This year 10 meat products were introduced, and customers can now choose from 50 types of meat.
Where ever they source their supplies from, let them train their butchers how to prepare a joint for the oven. I m sick and tired of showing a photo of a joint , say beef or pork, that is rolled, tied and with some fat on to so it is ready for the oven only to be told by Hungarian butchers that they don’t know how to do that. What Aldi and Tesco and Lidl can and do sell elsewhere, they must be able to train their butchers how to tie and prepare meat here! The current situation is like hailing a taxi and finding out that the driver does not know how to drive!
If it is true, I like it. I don’t eat meat but I know that most people eat meat.
As long as they eat meat, support Hungarian producers.
István, don’t take my word for it. Look at the Tesco UK food website for online shopping, or their competitor’s , Sainsbury’s. The supermarkets here whatever their home nationality are very poor in terms of choice and quality compared to the UK, France or Germany.
