Chairman Says Consumers Need Education After “$3,000/Month Salary Can’t Afford Fruit” Claim: Pagoda Responds to Misunderstanding
Pagoda, a Chinese fruit retailer, is facing scrutiny after Chairman Yu Huiyong’s comments on its pricing strategy went viral. Yu defended the premium prices by emphasizing product quality and consumer education, claiming Pagoda aims to inform consumers rather than exploit their ignorance. Consumers have voiced concerns about affordability, while Yu argues seemingly identical fruits can have vastly different qualities. Pagoda customer service acknowledges the video and is reviewing alleged inaccuracies. The incident has sparked a national debate about consumer choice and value.
