Multinational marketing system eyed for future farming
SEES MARKETING GIANTS A Agriculture Department official foresees a coming internationalized system where large marketing blocs manage every step from growing crops to delivering ready to cook meals.

He warns no one can bargain for farmers better than group action and government price setting is unlikely to satisfy both farmers and housewives.
