[QUOTE="Swarfmonkey, post: 9014299, member: 144242"] It's not happening because like it or not your re-localisation would be more expensive [I]overall[/I]. You'd lose economies of scale in production and you'd have the costs of duplication of facilities. It would cost a whole lot more to run 5 small bakeries than one large one, even with the latter's transport costs for the finished product(s) taken into account. That cost would be passed on to consumers, which would not be politically popular to say the least. [/QUOTE]
