PS, Banana, a thousand and one cooperative … | Funchal News Madeira News – Information from everyone for everyone!

In the discussion of the government program, for the economy region, MP PS, Silvia Silva, who has a lot of respect that I share with them family calls, gave me the great difference between right -wing and existence and existence
From the left. The big difference is largely summarized to know the reality and the reality of knowledge and realizes that despite the very good intentions, it is the reality of the world that must always show us what possible paths.
In this intervention, PS defended the idea of opening a banana marketing market to one thousand agricultural cooperatives, and a past repetition was already bad. But the most important thing is to realize why it is bad
In the past, in this case, the answer is that known phrase: “It is the economy, stupid!”
Let’s go to the parts: the economy in which the commercial power is strongly located alongside distribution chains and retail traders – as in the food marketing sector, which is a known fact for everyone – if we have four or five different economic agents to compete with each other to sell their products to these few retailers, so what will happen is that the price of sales of retailers continue to decline. This will reduce the ability to pay better prices for producers, and to transfer profit margins for producers and total retailers, who will exert increased pressure on the different totalitarianisms (which are consistent with them a lot), who will continue to reduce the selling price so that they do not lose sales to the neighboring cooperative, ready to sell the same banana at a lower price.
When “banana monopoly” was created, the idea was to increase this negotiating power for this total. Since retailers can only buy bananas through one channel, they lose the ability to pressure this price reduction and therefore they can maintain the banana sales price to the highest retailers. This higher price allows you to pay better prices for producers, who – I think – is the good intention that we all (including PS).
Therefore, the solution cannot lose this commercial feature obtained through the centrality of marketing with one total. This is a fact, and as I wrote earlier: “It is the economy, stupid!”
As I said earlier, I believe in goodwill behind the PS proposal and I also think – and I claim – it is necessary to push more to the banana product. But this must be done by obtaining efficiency in this only
The thickness, taking advantage of the size of the size that comes from GESBA being the only total, thus reducing unnecessary costs, and through this improvement in the margin, is able to better pay the producers. Destroy everything
We have won these economies, and the competitive advantages in negotiation are not, and it cannot be, the solution – because this is the way to lose the sector’s sustainability and loss of income and a return to chaos that do not benefit from it
no one.
This is clearly – at the end of the day – separates us! What separates the right from the left is that on the right we know how the markets work, and we believe in them and know how to organize them so that it does not destroy the future of people.
