PRICINg
there have been several major global
events over the last 2 years that have
placed inflationary pressures on many of our
suppliers. the oil price, demand for bio-diesel
crops, increased demand for animal feed and
changes in climatic conditions have created
food shortages and inflation. in 2008 we
began a deep-dive into pricing in Community
trade in a bid to combat the effects of
inflation, and to ensure that the primary
producers in our programme were still getting
a fair deal.
