How does Husfarm convert prices to euros per kilogram?
The price is divided by the weight of the unit and converted to euros at the day’s reference rate: the European Central Bank’s euro reference rates where available and market rates from exchangerate-api.com for other currencies.
The weight comes from the unit itself (kilogram, 25 kg, 100 kg) or from the pack described in the product name. Prices per piece, per bunch or per pack without a stated weight are shown but kept off per-kilogram comparisons.
The original price, currency and unit are always kept and shown. The converted value is only for comparison, and the date of the exchange rate is shown wherever a converted value appears.
Because exchange rates move, a converted price can change even when the market’s own price stays the same.
