Editorial

Concentration, Cartels and Free Trade Buccaneers

Cargill, the agrofood giant whose former Vice-President drafted the original text of the WTO's Agreement on Agriculture, has never shied from using its market position to manipulate prices up and down (often simultaneously) to extract maximum value at every point along the food chain while preaching the gospel of "free trade". So the recent EU raids on their European offices come as no surprise.[more]
