[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 8071351, member: 42308"] Been talking to a lass who's [I]very[/I] high up in the supply chain to all the big supermarkets and she says it's going to be a big problem. She's struggling to get top management to realise there's going to be a problem - "Oh, we'll switch to rape oil," they've been telling her. As she's married to a farmer she knows all about why there's less rape about but they don't seem to understand. She also was telling me how she's trying to get them to source more home grown produce but they're still putting price over food security. The example she quoted that she'd been dealing with this week was onions. One firm uses Polish grown as it saves the £1M over UK onions. They are still not prepared to switch even a small percentage over to UK grown to be sure of supply. She reckons these big firms are just burying their heads in the sand and that sooner or later the sh!t will hit the fan. [/QUOTE]
