Chris Quin: Foodstuffs North Island CEO on farmers raising questions over supermarket food prices
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
A farmer has revealed he gets paid 60 cents for 1kg of peas - which were selling for $5.79 at the local Pak’n’Save.
This has prompted questions about where the extra margin goes, especially following the planned closures at McCain and Watties.
Foodstuffs North Island CEO Chris Quin says it's unclear where the $5.79 figure came from.
"It's certainly not easy, and I think that's what we're seeing with McCain and Watties - it's pretty tragic news."
