80% of Norwegians have summer cottages, but they are in no hurry to lay out beds and plant the area with fruit bushes.
Even many pensioners cannot proudly say that they eat vegetables grown with their own labor.
The whole point is that conditions have been created for the Norwegians in which it is quite problematic to take care of their garden. You need to go through a whole series of bureaucratic obstacles.
The problem is that Norwegians need to obtain a license in order to garden on their territory.
Seeds also cannot be taken wherever you want. You need to buy only from certified stores. The license is expensive and the process takes a lot of time, writes the portal “”.
Therefore, Norwegians prefer to simply relax at their dachas, which they call hitts. There is a heavy fine for attempting to plant an illegal vegetable garden. It’s the same story with fishing. You must first pay the fee, and then you can go to the permitted place.
Thus, Norwegians prefer to buy vegetables, fruits and fish in the store. There are enough salaries and pensions, so they are not eager to dig in the garden.
