Is this something that could work in Norway where 3/4-companies is having a monopoly on groceries?

Unpop opin-onion: If we treated what has become of the grocery business like how we treat what has become of the media business this would be implemented in Norway too. Sadly, we don’t. Just like we don’t treat huge industries like oil and salmon the same. Norway is the perfect place to nationalize certain aspects of society, but I think we’re not doing enough. Word salad I know.

3/4-companies having a monopoly on groceries is common for every country. This is not a unique norwegian thing.
Norwegian food company owners are poor if you compare them with food barons in other countries such as swedish food baron who owns ICA or the german food baron who owns Lidl.

Food inflation is double the CPI inflation almost every single year and the profits of grocery store chains are insane. Maybe state-run grocery stores which would be selling stuff at cost could finally push those chains to keep their prices in check. That’s not a „free market“ solution, I know, but Norway is not exactly a libertarian heaven anyway.
