How do we get the organic industry in Australia back on track, focused on what it was born to undertake? Should Consumers pay their hard Earned for overpriced organic product? Why is there such a large Price Variance between (organic) retailers on like for like product. Does commercial viability truly mean giving up all ethics. Surely the larger retailers are able to grow this industry with the Organic Ethos!Michael Courtenayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05253834968752193310mcsixtyfive@gmail.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846152730433170576.post-73249336090810032492008-04-11T14:55:00.002-07:002008-08-06T17:11:43.276-07:00<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Should Consumers pay their hard Earned for overpriced organic product?<br />Why is there such a large Price Variance between retailers on like for like product, is it ALL buying power?<br />Consumers should not wear overpriced product because Organic Chains can't get their act together!<br />Organic will always cost more, how much more is a reasonable question!<br />We understand the commercial side of this industry, does this truly mean giving up all ethics,<br />surely the larger retailers are able to grow this industry with the Organic Ethos!<br /><br />We note that one retailer has now started filling it's racking with conventional/mainstream Product WTF?<br />This Industry is about more than the Bottom Line . . . it's about life, coexistence, sustainability, community &amp; wellbeing.<br /><br />The commercial viability of this industry needs to be focused on support for local content/producers, not a grab for cheap imported product that are flogged to the consumer at ridiculously inflated prices!</span></span></span> </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;">In this industry only 3 things exist : Good Producers : Ethical Resellers &amp; Above All, The Customer!
