[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 6832260, member: 946"] From what I've seen the supply chain in the UK seems over complicated with a lot of middlemen. It would be interesting to know how many on here actually sell direct to supermarkets. If you really want to make a difference I think the supply chain needs to be simplified and become more farmer owned. Wheats a good example, how about a group of farmers get together build a flour mill, supply it with their own wheat and sell to the large bakeries. Instead of it going through half a dozen other peoples hands before landing on Asda's shelf as a loaf. If farmers really want to take control they need to supply what the market wants, not what pays the best sub or gets the best grant/tax benefit. [/QUOTE]
