This will be a loss leader to get customers in. Farmers and workers should have already been paid usually due to a contract. Farmers and workers won't be expected to get about a third of the wage because a supermarket has an offer on. :smiley:

If you want to pay 5 times the price for a carrot, you might be on the wrong site. :wink:

If it wasn't for the likes of Lidl and Aldi, Asda would still be charging whatever they want
At prices like this does the farmer make a profit for the produce? What about the workers how much do they get for picking and packing the veg?

Who cares? it's cheap veg!, if petrol dropped to 10p a litre would we care about the refineries being paid enough?
