[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 8663863, member: 818"] Do you not understand economics? If there are thousands of producers of X, and few buyers, then the buyers can aways dictate pricing, because if any one producer refuses to play ball his neighbour probably will. We all know a farmer's worst enemy is his neighbour not the supermarkets. Whereas if there's half a dozen producers of X and half a dozen buyers, then the playing field is levelled. Where are supermarkets going to get milk if one producer controlling a third of the milk production says 'Pay more or get no milk'? [/QUOTE]
