    On a long enough timeline it ends with a single company.

    Because of vertical integration and a large company’s ability to operate at a loss in a specific slice to drive out any competition so they can raise prices.

    If you have questions I can try to explain further.

    If you’re just going to keep saying wrong things, I’m going to quickly get tired of explaining and just leave you to be wrong.

      look at farms and how you can get tomatoes from a large number of suppliers, if the number of suppliers goes down anyone can become a new supplier.

      Not every supplier needs to be competitive on price.

        No…

        More Perfect Union have some good videos on that.

        A small producer can’t meet contract requirements for commercial grocery stores and can’t just sell tomatoes individually.

        But like I said if you’re just going to spout uninformed opinions and hope someone takes pity and attempts to explain it to you, you’re gonna have to find someone else, I won’t even see any other false statements you make, so there’s no way I can point out all the ways you’re wrong again.
