Supermarkets gouging customers
Farmers say they are not benefiting from any price-rise of fresh produce at supermarkets, amid accusations that retailers are price gouging.
"People are paying more for their fruit and veggies at the supermarket, but the farmers aren’t selling them for more, so who's really raising the prices here?" he said.
"Sure you’ll get a little lift in prices because of the cost of fuel, but not like we’ve seen at the checkouts recently.
"They're ripping off the farmer and they're ripping off the consumer."
This is what happens when a country - Australia - has only two major supermarkets, Woolworths and Coles.
Obviously the supermarkets are blaming inflation and supply chain issues.
Woolworths made a $1.79 billion profit last year.
Coles made a $1.1 billion profit last year.
