Banana growers defy the ACCC
27 Jul 2006

Despite Australian Competition and Consumer Commission guidelines stating that growers can not work together to set prices, Queensland banana growers are staggering production of post-cyclone crops to ensure that prices remain adequate to cover the costs of production. Growers say the staggering of production is about ensuring supply and preventing an exodus of growers from the industry.
