Basic income plan clearly rejected by Swiss voters

In Switzerland, imported and unprocessed food is surprisingly cheap. Veggies are maybe 20-30% more expensive than Germany.

I must be misunderstanding something, because these two sentences seem to contradict. In Germany itself, "unprocessed food" is more expensive than in most of the rest of the world.

According to Eurostat food prices in Germany are at the EU-15 average and slightly above the EU-28 avarage with fruits and vegetables slightly below.

Sure, in most of the rest of the world food is pcheaper but that compares to even lower income levels.
