Retailers Making Australian Producers Uncompetitive
AUSTRALIA - The release of Choice’s “Australia first“ report into the major supermarkets has renewed calls from the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) for governments to recognise the impact of the regulatory and business cost burden on farmers. NFF President Jock Laurie said the release of the report, which shows that only a percentage of Coles' and Woolworths' home-brand products are locally sourced, demonstrates that farmers are becoming increasingly uncompetitive on both global markets and the domestic front.
