Mehmed Dikme: Producers will suffer from the boycott against large chains  - 1

„Supermarkets will not suffer from the boycott against large food chains, because the production belongs to the producers.“ This was commented by former Agriculture Minister Mehmed Dikme.

According to him, the Competition Protection Commission should check for overcharges and monitor unfair competition.

„We are on the principle of a market economy, so when there is demand and overconsumption, prices rise. There are such cases all over the world. Food prices will rise, global consumption increases. When there is more than production, prices rise.

He also recalled that there is a 30% increase in energy costs. According to him, there is a lot of populist talk.

„In addition, January and February are difficult months for everyone. After the Christmas holidays, where we have a lot of expenses and little income, we enter the new year with large utility bills, said Dikme.
