[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8158807, member: 54866"] RT is not legal, nor is what the AHDB do. RT is basically in a monopoly position and should be binned as all it does it cost producers money. It does not protect the consumer, it does not interest the retailers nor the customer and at the end of the day, it has no value in the marketplace and has no legal basis to exist. AHDB should be binned and certainly not funded by the tax payer nor by mandatory levies. There is no place for these kinds of organisations in the food chain any longer in the post-subsidy world. The potato boys ditched their board. Time for the rest of the industry to do the same. You don't need other people taking your money and spending it on your behalf. We need a sleek, cost minded but wholly market-orientated industry that doesn't try to hamstring itself in knots with meaningless regulations and cost for no gain. The industry will change, radically in the coming years and needs to adopt the same mindset of farmers internationally who won't do anything except where it 'pencils' with a very sharp pencil. High time for the hitch-hikers to get off the bus. [/QUOTE]
