[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6682667, member: 54866"] Some are listed companies or owned by listed companies. As with most companies in the associated industries, there has been consolidation and there will be more of course. There are some big multinational companies involved as well, most of them with turnovers of a billion or more. Whilst I am all for healthy competition the fact is that if margins get squeezed consolidation is generally the end result and fewer -but larger- players in a marketplace does not strike me as being in anyone's interests because it ultimately means farmers get less choice in future. There are still a number of smaller, even family owned companies and one or two man bands providing agronomy services and supply around the country- I have met some of them- all of them are out there doing their damnedest to provide a worthwhile service in an ever changing marketplace and long may they continue.
