Market range

€1.55/kg to €2.68/kg

Median flour prices run from Slovakia to Finland, but own-brand bags stay much closer together.

Per kilogram saved

€0.44

less for the same basic flour use

Choosing a €0.56/kg bag instead of a €1.00/kg bag saves €0.44 each time a household buys one kilogram of basic white flour.

Why?

01

Commodity product

Flour is a commodity, so brand and packaging can matter more than the ingredient itself.

02

Own-brand economics

Own-brands often use the same mills but avoid the added cost of large advertising budgets.

03

Shelf positioning

VAT, wages and logistics affect countries, but same-shelf gaps mostly reflect how products are positioned.
