Re:UK: Food inflation rises to 18.2% as it hits highest rate... by locallost on Friday March 24, 2023 @12:32PM (#35291530)
This. The last part, thank you. I think it's a major problem in the economy today. For a market economy to work there needs to be competition, but there's too little of it. If the prices are too high, the market response should be to produce more. But it's not happening - even if you produce something you need to get it in stores and every country is dominated by a few huge chains. They don't want to do business with small time producers. So in multiple parts of the chain you have entities that can basically do whatever they want.
