You can't keep propping up businesses on emotive arguments about doe-eyed cows and sad farmers. * Nobody did. *The supermarkets, having cornered the market in retail milk sales, collectively stopped paying a fair price to farmers for what they produce, so that they could rake off a doubled profit for themselves. * It is fantastical, that these same supermarkets woo customers consciences with "fair trade" exotic goods such as tea and coffee, with a promise that the third world producers get a fair deal and can make a reasonable living. At the same time supermarkets manipulate the milk * market to deny the same fair deal to UK home producers. * *Janet "Fair trade" is a load of ********. Possibly supermarket ********. They give some poor coffee farmer a few extra pence for his crop. Then they pile on the pounds for the consumer. It's just a cunning ploy to increase profit. ie, The increased price you pay is nowhere near the amount passed on to the farmer. |
