| ''"And yet at the end of 2015, Clemmy’s went out of business. Its failure shows how today’s food marketplace is tilted in favor of the world’s largest food manufacturers and against everyone else—including companies offering better-for- you products." (Rivlin p.1)''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''"You can't just start selling your ice-cream. If you want to be in a major grocer, you have to pay. Journalist Gary Rivlin recently wrote about the slotting fee economy in a report for the Centre for Science in the Public Interest. His story of a real ice-cream brand called Clemmy's is a guide to what might happen to your generic ice-cream brand. To get generic ice-cream inside a freezer door you'd have to pay $30,000 to get into 350 stores. And that's at a discount. Once you got in, sometimes you have to pay up to stay on the shelf. You're competing against giants like Nestle and Unilever. Rivlin reports they control basically 90% of the available freezer doors because they've already paid up. For giants like them a $30,000 fee isn't a lot. For you, however, it might be a major cost. Even then, paying for your generic ice-cream to get on the shelves wouldn't necessarily give you control. Instead, category captains - the big buys who pay the most - draft where every item goes, which can determine how well things sell."'' [1:16 - 2:20] (Vox video)

| Food Marketing Institute (FMI) - represents grocers
| |
| <br>
| |
| [Rivlin's] "report seriously mischaracterised the legitimate food industry practice of slotting fees" | |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Rivlin and FTC asked grocers on their opinion
| |
| <br>
| |
| Walmart: "unlike many other grocers, Walmart does not charge slotting fees... We are working with our suppliers every day to serve our shared customers" - they believe it raises prices
| |
| <br>
| |
| Whole Foods: similar opinion. Want to give test stores to give products a chance
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| FMI: " It is not a shadowy backroom deal cut, but an openly discussed agreement to facilitate manufacturers helping retailers recoup the labor, spacing and shelving costs entailed in marketing new product lines"
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| also push in-store brands to give more control, which gives less space to manufacturers (think Albert Hein!)

| Dilma
| |
| <br>
| |
| http://ethicalteasociety.org/about-us/faq
| |
| <br>
| |
| Why is Dilmah not certified as Fair Trade?
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''We would not join the Fair Trade movement as Dilmah tea goes far beyond Fair Trade.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''Fair Trade does not address the fundamental weakness of the tea industry. Although well intentioned, in the case of tea, Fair Trade perpetuates the outdated colonial model of raw material being imported into and packaged in the UK, where all the significant branding profits lie.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''Only a small fraction of the Fair Trade premium charged to consumers for tea is paid to the grower, typically only 7% of the shelf price finds its way back as the total payment for tea supplied. Dilmah returns a minimum of 10% of pre-tax profits to growers, distributed via the MJF Foundation (see www.mjffoundation.org). This has a far greater impact on the tea growers and the Ceylon Tea Industry than Fair Trade. MJF Foundation funds are used to ensure, among other things, child nutrition, midday meals, educational scholarships, hospitals and school facilities as standard provisions for the Dilmah workforce.
| |
| Fair Trade is also not about quality, it’s a seal of approval to sell at a premium price appealing to consumer consciences. Any new brand wanting to sell an average quality product at a premium price can apply for the Fair Trade mark and start a “virtual marketing” firm that outsources tea packaging and sourcing of the tea to other UK firms. This means there might be up to 5 or 6 middlemen between the grower and the retailer with very little invested back to the tea growers. Dilmah is the antithesis of this model.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''Dilmah Tea is entirely packaged and branded in Sri Lanka without middlemen in the West. In any industry, the fairest form of trade is for the producer to offer their product to consumers using as few intermediaries as possible. In the case of Ceylon Tea, gathering and retaining the product’s value at origin benefits the grower in the form of a fair price for a product that requires effort, expertise and dedication to produce; it benefits the tea industry, which is ailing from years of exploitation and deprivation of a fair share of the revenue from the sale of its produce; and, in our case, it benefits the under-developed economy of Sri Lanka. Importantly, it also benefits the consumer in presenting a better quality tea.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''Much of the Fair Trade movement focuses on worker conditions and moving towards an acceptable quality of life for workers. In Sri Lanka, standards in tea garden worker conditions have been legally enforced for over one hundred years as it is the most established global tea producer.''
