Fairtrade retail price discrimination



We all know that Marmite costs £2 in Northern Ireland and €3.99 in SuperValu in Dublin, but what's worse is the increase in prices of Fairtrade products like tea. Why is it that in Tesco, Lyons Gold 80 regular Tbags are only up 30c a pkt since October 2004, while Robert Roberts 80 Fairtrade Tbags are up 48c a pkt ? We suggest that's not fair.
