I was intrigued by what Mr. Doyle had to say about own-brand selling, etc. Certain supermarket chains offer a 1 kg bag of carrots labelled, albeit in relatively small print, as having been grown in Ireland. Presuming that bag of carrots is not sold below cost, are the witnesses claiming that Irish growers are worse off if their carrots are sold in that way than if they are sold loose and the consumer can select and weigh them? Is there a difference in what the producer gets or is there concern other than purely the amount of money the grower gets?
