This is the case in any country. Some things are very cheap in China, but expensive in foreign countries. Some things are expensive at home and cheap abroad. The differences between different countries are obvious.
I bought it too. It feels good. Whether it's true or not, just look at the logo. Russian Purple Sugar has a special marketing staff in China (Russian), so it is estimated that all her information can be found online.
Anything imported must have an import license and be expressed in Chinese. Those without Chinese are smuggled goods. You can see many Chinese labels in the supermarket.
Russian purple sugar in the past two years can be said to be an explosive snack sold in WeChat business. I met several WeChat merchants in my circle of friends and often pushed Russian purple sugar.
18 years, I worked in a large community group buying company here for a while. Russian purple sugar is sold there at a price of 9.9 per 500 grams, and there are 8.8 bags of Russian flour. I feel that this price may not be enough for freight, so this price is definitely in doubt.
It is said to be imported 32 Jin of Russian purple sugar. Is it true?/You don't say.
First, the price of purple sugar in Russia is different in different seasons.
Second, where does Russian purple sugar come from?
Conclusion: If the purple candy is sold online, I definitely don't believe it at 32 kg, because apart from the freight and cost, isn't the merchant "playing for nothing"?
The real price of purple sugar produced in Russia is more than ten yuan a catty. If 32 yuan is two Jin, the price should be very real. Although there is no difference in the price of purple sugar. But it is difficult for us to tell whether the purple sugar sold by this merchant is true or not.
We may have a misunderstanding about Russian food. We always thought that the price of Russian food would be high. Actually, this is not right.
I live in Hulunbeier Manzhouli. We are the largest land port in China, and our two neighboring countries are Russian and Mongolian. So Manzhouli is also a small border town at the junction of the three countries. There are shops selling Russian food in all the streets. As long as it is Russian-made food, you can buy it here. Because there is a mutual trade zone between Manzhouli and Russia (the so-called mutual trade zone means that there are trade markets at the gates of China and Russia, and Russians can sell Russian products in the trade zone without additional tariffs).
Every morning, Russians will take their products to the mutual trade zone for sale, and then return to Russia before closing in the afternoon. Most of the food they sell is produced in Russia and the price is very low. For example, Russian purple sugar is only 12 yuan per catty in the free trade zone, so it is not surprising that Russian purple sugar is 32 yuan per catty.
Russia's light industrial products are relatively backward, but its heavy industry and food production capacity are very strong, especially Russian food. Because of their rich resources and low wages, their food prices are very low, and Russia's animal husbandry is also very developed. The price of their dairy products is very low, while the price of candy is much cheaper than that of China. Russia also has a large chocolate production capacity, because they have a great demand for chocolate, and the production technology of chocolate and candy food is also relatively advanced. The price of chocolate products of the same quality is about half lower than that of China.
Because I often go to Russia, I know the taste of Russian purple sugar very well. At least the purple sugar that we sell locally for more than ten yuan (1 kg) is mostly imported from Russia, because the purple sugar we eat in Russia is no different from the purple sugar we buy locally. Although the price of purple sugar is very real, I am afraid that someone on the Internet will cheat consumers with fake purple sugar. But for some merchants with good credit, we can still trust them. 32 yuan at least 2 Jin of purple sugar, the price is very reasonable.
When we see Russian imports, we don't think the price is much more expensive than China's food. In fact, food prices in China are much higher than those in Russia. In our supermarket in China, you can't buy chocolate candy for more than 10 yuan, even ordinary fruit candy costs more than 20 yuan, 1 kg. Fortunately, we are next to Russia and can eat cheap Russian food and candy. So, when you see Russian food in the future, don't think it is too expensive.
If you search Russian purple sugar on Pinduoduo, you will find that many businesses sell it. Generally, you will be prompted whether it is imported or domestic. Now there are domestic manufacturers cooperating with Russians to produce purple candy with their technology, which tastes the same. In Harbin, purple candy has been sold for a long time, just like Russian sausage, Russian bread (big bread), Russian drink, Russian liquor (vodka) and so on. They are not high-tech products. They have been produced and sold in China for many years or even hundreds of years, and all of them were introduced into China from Russia. There are many kinds of purple candy, including peanuts, hazelnuts and almonds with pure Russian flavor. Purple comes from chocolate. There are all kinds of information about the manufacturer on the package of sugar. If it is a regular imported product, it will be marked. If you buy "fake goods" on Pinduoduo, you can complain to the platform. If the platform investigation is true, pay first. Now merchants have mortgage risks on the platform, and generally dare not sell fakes, otherwise they will be punished or retired, which will cause great losses. I have experienced a similar incident. Merchants cheat people with false advertisements, and the goods they receive are quite different from the advertisements. After complaining about the products and advertisement screenshots to the platform, I received a refund and quickly returned the coupons. I didn't return it because it was food and it wasn't expensive.
I really don't believe this. Real Russian purple sugar is sold in China, including costs, taxes, customs clearance and transportation costs. How can it be so cheap?
I guess it's either made in imitation in China or smuggled, because this kind of candy is very popular in China and in short supply, so it's hard to avoid the intervention of criminals, so I suggest you keep your eyes open when buying and resolutely resist fake and shoddy goods!
Hello, I'm Xiao Wu and I live in Moscow!
This has nothing to do with believing that it is true or false, and it is definitely related to counterfeiting ... First of all, it is not domestic counterfeiting? Domestic fake Russian candy? Is it a fraud in Russia? Look at its ingredients: all chocolate cream is a "cocoa butter substitute"-it tastes bad and doesn't melt in the mouth (many sugars are painted white or dark brown ...). These "cocoa butter substitutes" are the chief culprits that cause many diseases, especially diabetes, so the state will force the food industry to label them-cocoa butter substitutes? Cocoa butter? This must be marked!
Another, anyone who has eaten the so-called Russian candy, as long as there is nothing wrong with your taste buds, is bound to feel, and it is the first feeling. Why is this candy so sweet? Sweet haze? In fact, normal natural glucose (sugarcane, beet ...) is not so sweet, so this sweetness will inevitably be produced by unhealthy food additives, which will increase the sweetness for a while and reduce the cost of sugar. This is the main reason for the low price of Russian candy bars!
When I went to Lin Qiu Company to buy sausages two weeks ago, Hua 28 yuan bought a bag of 500g purple candy. Candy is not very sweet, not that sweet, it's delicious.
Don't believe me, because I have bought fakes. Purple sugar is very popular in recent years, and naturally there are many fakes. Too cheap, the business cost is not enough, how can it be true?
