In January 2025, around 374 metric tons of organic courgettes were sold in retail stores. This is 27.0 percent more than in January of the previous year. The organic price in the classic retail trade (excluding discounters) this January was 4.57 US$/kg and was thus 13.4 percent lower than in the same month last year. Since zucchini are not grown in Switzerland during the winter, these are foreign goods.
