Nail on head .they are very clever operators, as are all the major retailers.
so, perhaps they think the current higher prices, will encourage farmers to produce more, and they can lower prices, as soon as that happens, and to be fair, that is what usually happens.
This time, they might be in for a big shock, whichever way you look at it, supply is less than demand, not only here, but globally, chuck in higher input costs, less fert, cost of transport etc, the food surplus just isn't going to happen, and personally, l hope reality kicks them, where it really hurts.
There won't be food shortages in the UK, higher prices, and a lot less choice, less imported luxury high end product, and consumers will have to deal with that, Waste needs to be tackled, that is outside our control.
What l can see, is a change of attitude towards food. But you can be certain, those smarmie bas#tard retailers, will shift the blame to us.
