The NFU of England and Wales has highlighted that while farm-gate prices have dropped by nearly one-
quarter, and wholesale prices for UK legs of lamb are down by 17%,
prices in the shops for UK product have only fallen by 2% in the same
time period. Figures also show the wholesale price of New Zealand lamb has dropped by 23%
(year on year), and yet the retail price for consumers has only come
down 12% in the same period.
Are the supermarkets thinking it's better to be hung for a sheep than for lamb in their profiteering?
