據報道,有些農民把草莓價格下跌的原因歸于昆士蘭和和西澳的草莓供應過剩,但是也有農民認為是幾大超市把草莓價格壓低到了一個不合理的水平。
昆士蘭州陽光海岸的草莓種植戶Lillian McMartin稱,Coles、Woolworths和IGA三大超市控制了這個市場。他們把草莓售價降到一個荒唐的水平,已經低于我們的生產成本了。
部分原文報道如下:
Have you noticed strawberries are berry cheap at the moment?
Punnets were selling for as low 80 cents in Coles supermarkets on Sunday, which is excellent news for fruit lovers, but not so great for farmers.
While some farmers blame a strawberry glut in Queensland and Western Australia, others say the big supermarkets are forcing prices down to unsustainable levels.
“Coles and Woolies and IGA control the market,” strawberry grower Lillian McMartin said, from Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
