[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 7799676, member: 3566"] That was one of the main reasons given for creating RT and it has failed spectacularly. For assurance schemes to work, there must be some market forces at play. There isn't because RT has pursued compulsion rather than benefit for joining. The rhetoric from RT is to continuously raise standards [adding time and cost]. Almost every retailer then wants to be seen to be better. All additional costs are borne by the producers so there is absolutely no check or justification required for the continual introduction of new requirements. Red tractor assurance has essentially driven down the price of higher standard produce. Without RT, buyers would have to choose to pay more to get those standards met. [Notwithstanding the control administered by contracts] [/QUOTE]
