Food

The Agenda with Steve Paikin discusses a new report from the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project that argues Canada’s food system is being undermined by monopoly. And while grocery stores have become an easy target for consumer anger over the cost of food, this report says consolidation has occurred at all levels of the supply chain. The Agenda looks at the implications of the report.

A new report by the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project (CAMP) makes the point that, “Canadian farmers are price-takers trapped in the middle of a U-shaped power asymmetry between the companies from which they buy inputs from and the companies to whom they sell their products.”
