Where the figures come from
Only published figures we may quote: federal statistics (Federal Statistical Office, Federal Office for Agriculture, Price Supervisor) and the annual figures of the industry associations. We copy each figure as published, with its year and a link, and check them again every year. The AI only recognises your brand and your category; it never writes a figure.
