Why?

Croatia produces it

Croatia produces olive oil, while every bottle on Slovenian shelves is imported.

02

Import costs

Cross-border transport, logistics, distributors and retail markup add cost before the bottle reaches the shelf.

03

Less competition

Croatian supermarkets carry more domestic producers, while Slovenian shelves face less competitive pressure.

Numbers don't lie.
