Reeve Speaks in House on Farm Labor and Prices
Ontario Minister of Agriculture Kennedy says retailers take up to 78 percent of consumer prices for fruit and vegetables while farmers get a small share. He cites tests showing cabbage 59 percent to farmers, carrots 42, celery 22, potatoes 39, and warns that middlemen inflate costs. He urges policy to balance producer and consumer prices and to stabilize farm labor, noting immigration policy gaps and workers leaving farms for city pay.
