Ask your wife what happened when New Zealand decided to cut subsidies and let only the strong survive.
When I worked down there ( 87 or 88, can't remember)
They were pretty happy about it.
I just bought a box with about 100 clementines from Spain for 100 kroner.
That is 16 cents a piece, grown, picked, sorted, boxed and shipped to Denmark. With a gross exporter, a shipper, a gross importer here and a retailer all having to make money off those, what is left to the farmer.?
Ridiculous!
