Michel-Edouard Leclerc, the chief strategist of the E. Leclerc centers, has criticized multinationals for increasing prices of various food products by significant amounts, such as 9% for biscuits and confectionery, 9% for cold cuts, 7.5% for frozen fish, and up to 23% for pasta. Leclerc argues that these price hikes, despite rising transport costs and the impact of commodity price fluctuations, are unjustified. Contrarily, Bruno Cassan, the president of Andrésy Confitures, a SME in Ile-de-France, has pointed out the challenges of rising costs in raw materials and packaging, which are being absorbed by the company rather than passed on to consumers, highlighting the financial strain on businesses and the need for a more reasonable approach to pricing.
