The Tesco boss Dave Lewis has publicly criticised the attempt by consumer goods giants to hike the prices of everyday goods in the wake of the row over Marmite.
However he did say that it was multinationals “right to try to increase prices, but it is Tesco’s right to say we will no longer stock them if they do without a justified reason.” Stalker reckons that Irish mushroom suppliers have a justified reason for asking for increased prices for their produce when the currency moves so rapidly against them.
But with the truculent supermarkets ready to beat down any price rises, it will take some pretty tough talking to secure equitable prices.
