Amazon launched deliveries of fresh groceries in Berlin and neighboring Potsdam for members of its Prime subscription service, a move that could accelerate online sales of food that have been sluggish in Germany so far.

Amazon said in a statement that Prime members can choose from 85,000 products, including items such as chocolate, coffee and bread from 25 local stores, for 9.99 euros ($10.87) a month for unlimited deliveries with a minimum order value of 40 euros.
