One of the most popular foods in the Czech Republic is suddenly ending. You will never buy it in the store again, people don’t understand

Few people really realize how much things change, and especially the way they look at them. Even in the nineties, people in the Czech Republic were excited when large international concerns entered here and bought one traditional Czech company after another. They felt that they would bring Western standards and quality here.

They’re closing it all down now

This may have been true for a while, but now these companies have decided to capitalize their investments properly and we are seeing it on all fronts. The entire sales network belongs to foreign retail chains, which do not hesitate to raise food prices to the point of absurdity.

And many have no idea how many traditional food producers are owned by foreign companies. They are now all over the world rationalizing and trying to make their production more efficient. They usually operate in many countries, to which they then export products from their production plants. However, as soon as one of them does not fit in the store, it is mercilessly closed, despite the fact that it is associated with a traditional product in the given country.

This is exactly what happened with Znojmia, which fell into the portfolio of the Orkla conglomerate. However, someone there decided that it was no longer worth producing cucumbers in Bzenec and Dolní Březany, but they would be produced exclusively in a giant factory somewhere in Turkey. There, all possible brands are stuck on them, including the traditional Znojmia.

This is not the first or the last case

So be careful. You can still find cucumbers of this brand in stores, but it is no longer a traditional Czech product, but only a play on the brand. Unfortunately, it also had an impact on long-term employees of plants in the Czech Republic. There were a total of 250 of them, all of whom were dismissed without mercy. No alternative was offered to them.

Unfortunately, this is not the only recent case of this kind. For example, traditional Lentils are already produced somewhere abroad and taste different. The same applies to Piškot. And perhaps such Rum pralines ended up completely without any replacement. At the same time, it can be expected that this trend will probably continue.
