Coles says only five per cent of fresh produce imported
19 Jul 2005
Coles Myer agreed to support a food industry proposal to promote the benefits to consumers of buying Australian-grown produce. Tasmanian farmers protesting in Melbourne met senior Coles executives to discuss an industry review involving government, retailers, farmers and producers. Coles said 95 per cent of the retail chain’s fresh produce is sourced locally and 85 per cent of all goods sold in Coles were locally sourced. The farmers claim the supermarket chain's preference for imported products is pushing Tasmania's $180 million vegetable industry out of business.
