Understanding the Survey's Importance

It compares prices across four of Namibia’s leading hardware retailers: Pupkewitz Megabuild, Build It, BUCO, and Ark Trading, focusing on a standard basket of commonly bought items. This initiative not only aids consumers in navigating the competitive market but also sheds light on pricing trends, thereby fostering transparency within the industry.
