Where the hells the competion watchdog in all this?!

Too big

Some times I wonder is that the case? On one hand there are big concerns about competition but on the other hand look at Moy Park with poultry. They basically dictate to the retailer.

Nothing to do with RHI, the growers are very well organised when they negotiate. So my neighbour tells me anyway.

Not that I want to be defending JBS but I have to say it isn't the impression i get of them, their attention to detail with regards to hygiene and quality is second to none, what they do in brazil may be different.
