Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield (aka Ben and Jerry) are reportedly in talks to buy back their namesake ice cream brand from Unilever. Two weeks ago the founders complained that their brand's parent company was silencing them on Trump. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@quartz" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>quartz</span></a></span> reports that Cohen and Greenfield "may seek to partner with investors who share their social values if any transaction is made, although details remain confidential." Unilever, however, told Bloomberg that the ice cream unit is “not for sale." Ben & Jerry's was founded in 1978 and known for its advocacy for racial equality, climate change action and LGBTQ rights. It was purchased by Unilever in 2000. </p><p><a href="https://flip.it/QxqFqe" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/QxqFqe</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Food</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FoodIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BenAndJerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BenAndJerry</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Unilever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unilever</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Business</span></a></p>

Mojo ♻️<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.ai/@rbreich" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>rbreich</span></a></span> <br>In Australia, the food industry also exhibits significant levels of concentration, though perhaps not as extreme as in the U.S.</p><p> Here's a general overview:</p><p>1. Supermarket Sector: <br>The Australian grocery market is highly concentrated, with two major players, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Woolworths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Woolworths</span></a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Coles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coles</span></a>, dominating about 65-70% of the market. Aldi and IGA (Independent Grocers of Australia) hold smaller shares, but the landscape is still largely controlled by the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/duopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duopoly</span></a> of Woolworths and Coles. This concentration can limit competition and contribute to higher prices for consumers.</p><p>2. Meat Processing: <br>The Australian meat processing industry is also fairly concentrated, with a few large companies like JBS Australia, Teys Australia, and Australian Country Choice controlling a significant share of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/beef" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beef</span></a> processing. This concentration can lead to less competition and potentially higher prices for meat products.</p><p>3. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Agricultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agricultural</span></a> Inputs (Seeds, Fertilisers): <br>The agricultural inputs sector in Australia, like seeds and fertilisers, is controlled by a few major players. Companies such as Bayer (which acquired <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Monsanto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monsanto</span></a>) have a significant share of the seed market, while companies like Incitec Pivot and Nutrien dominate fertiliser production. This concentration can lead to reduced competition and potentially higher costs for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/farmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmers</span></a>, which may be passed on to consumers.</p><p>4 <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dairy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dairy</span></a> Industry:<br>The dairy processing industry in Australia is also dominated by a few large companies like <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Fonterra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fonterra</span></a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Saputo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saputo</span></a>, and Bega Cheese. This concentration can impact <a href="https://aus.social/tags/milk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milk</span></a> prices both for producers and consumers.</p><p>In summary, Australia has similar issues with market concentration in the food industry, though the levels vary by sector. This concentration can lead to reduced competition, which often results in higher prices for consumers. The dominance of a few major players across various sectors makes it challenging to achieve more competitive pricing, ultimately affecting the cost of food in Australia.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoodIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MarketConcentration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarketConcentration</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GroceryPrices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GroceryPrices</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CostOfLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLiving</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SupermarketDuopoly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupermarketDuopoly</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Agriculture</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FoodPrices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodPrices</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EconomicImpact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EconomicImpact</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DairyIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DairyIndustry</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BeefProcessing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeefProcessing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FertiliserPrices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FertiliserPrices</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ConsumerRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConsumerRights</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WelcomeToCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WelcomeToCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Auspol</span></a></p>
