My point is that the small farmers DON'T cover the "loss" when a product is on special - only the big suppliers do. Woolworths purchases produce at a set price determined by supply and demand as well as quality and that is what is paid to the farmer.

It's a good thing the cost of farming is the same as it was 15 years ago. Petrol is still 70 Cents a litre, there is abundant water supplies & you can grow your own seeds that you have saved.

You would have to be a mug, to be a supplier to either woolworths or coles. They have destroyed millions of small businesses, ...by implementing the latest technology they out price anyone. We now have a dysfunctional society due to supermarkets. Self respect of the individual has largely been destroyed by these two monster corporations. Now they are trying to re-destroy small milk companies that supply an excellent product.

i am impartial but i think that most costs come from logistics and DC's woolies own their dc's coles doesn't go figure

This is terrible, a Rockmelon at coles costs $7 and $2 at Paddy's markets..

In Fact Wal-Mart owns shares in both of them!

All your posts are about big suppliers. Not on the small farmers and food producers. These farmers are growing the basic food. You are talking about manufacturers who purchase their ingredients off of the same farmers that this story is talking about. I mostly agree with your posts. You have missed the point.
