[QUOTE="Highland Mule, post: 6757095, member: 33090"] Food is a mass commodity and the price of commodities is decided according to supply and demand. Nothing that you get paid will help to keep the price down, apart from you by adding a trivially small amount to the supply side of the equation. If you were to try and sell your commodity food for more than the price as decided by supply and demand (ie what you call the true cost of production), then you would fail. You could ask more than the price you’re offered, but unless you were selling something with a market differentiation, you wouldn’t succeed. I’m sorry to say, but the removal of subsidy wouldn’t cause food prices to rise as plenty suppliers (your competitors) would still manage to supply at current price. [/QUOTE]
