What is the price of bananas in the shops in Switzerland (organic true)?

Grocery prices in Switzerland, from Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft BLW. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

Posted prices, as published by the official source. They are not individual receipts.

ProofPrice reads Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft BLW when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

Where this comes from

Source
Marktzahlen Früchte, Gemüse und Kartoffeln: monatliche Konsumentenpreise (BLW / FOAG, via LINDAS), published by Bundesamt für Landwirtschaft BLW (Federal Office for Agriculture FOAG), published on opendata.swiss and LINDAS
Licence
opendata.swiss terms of use, tier 'Open use' (terms_by): commercial use allowed, the source must be named (author, title, link)
Attribution
Source: Federal Office for Agriculture FOAG, 'Market figures fruit, vegetables, and potatoes - Monthly consumer prices' (https://ckan.opendata.swiss/dataset/marktzahlen-fruchte-gemuse-und-kartoffeln-monatliche-konsumentenpreise), Open use. ProofPrice selects the items and calculates the changes; the FOAG has not reviewed it.
How fresh the source is
Monthly: BLW adds the newest month during the following month, and the answer names the month it covers
Limits
BLW 'list prices' of standard retail products, not receipts and not the price in any one shop; the data gives no count of prices behind a figure. Only the items in this table are offered, for the conventional product unless organic is asked for; prices for loose goods are per kg, others per piece or bunch.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
