[QUOTE="Baker9, post: 1057048, member: 580"] The power is in the hands of the multiples as something like 30% of all household spending a few years ago was in Tescos alone, they have such a massive share of the market that they control it. On the other hand if there were only half a dozen beef producers they could control the market. Farmers will only have power in the market if they act together but getting farmers to agree that would be like trying to herd cats. The power is only in the farmers hands if they decide not to supply beef to the processors under these new rules and they also make sure there are no alternative supply routes. When the market is concentrated in the hands of a few people then cartels are easily formed to control the market. [/QUOTE]
