    Alexander - CAP is a double edged sword, it helps keep prices higher in many cases...as Ross pointed out.

    I repeat that New Zealand dropped farm subsidies (mentioned on Farming Today yesterday morning...). It was difficult initially but as the report said the farming sector in NZ is stronger than ever and it did not cause any massive food price rises.

    GaryC - I did suggest that dropping farm subsidies should be considered, though preferably across Europe and US not just here. It is lazy thinking to simply assume it would be a disaster. It is a much more complex issue than that and a serious look at the NZ experience is needed rather than just assume we should carry on doing the same old, same old.
