Answer

Would a VAT cut show up in prices at Palma's Mercat de l'Olivar?

Shoppers might notice faster price adjustments if VAT on staples is reduced, but it depends on whether traders pass savings to customers. In busy markets like Mercat de l'Olivar, price tags can reflect changes quickly, yet supply and demand still shape final costs. Monitoring would help ensure savings reach buyers.
