Good point. I’ve been wondering the same. Their seeds are a good 30-40% cheaper than the ones sold by any other European vendor I know. And while it is true that the Polish economy is one of the workhorses of Europe (unfortunately not of the UE), it is also true that the cost of living there is way lower than that of any other UE country. I read that the minimum wage there is around 400 €
.
Besides that, I also read the Corporate tax rate for a Polish company is currently 40,3% (Finland is actually at 37,9%), while Italy tops this chart with a stunning 64,8%
Those two are definitely key factors in keeping the prices low.
