State's top produce snapped up abroad

AdelaideNow... State's top produce snapped up abroad:

"'We're at the quality end of the market rather than quantity, and exporting leads to wealth generation for the local communities involved in growing and producing it,' he said."

I know it's about profit and not people. I know it's about productivity and shareholders and I will keep saying ...people are everything. I know "market forces" are about managing the product so you get the best price. It's is bloomin' ridiculous, though, to have to go the New Caledonia to taste what our real apples taste like and get our best bottled water and see things I have never even seen here.It's embarrassing to buy great stuff in Bendigo that I find out is produced down the road from here and I didn't even know. This is OUR FOOD. Food. Nutrition. Health - and I tell you, there is NO comparison between our eggs and other eggs. Our eggs cook better, taste better and produce high quality food. You can tell when you haven't used our eggs. I still think we can eat our own food and supply overseas as well. We can only be making more jobs for people and building a healthier state. Come on, get onto it, will you? I have to confess, though, we can't compete with the Margaret River yoghurt!! Every place has its best and that's what we should be doing...actually thinking we deserve to feed ourselves on the best quality food and that we have the right to do so...and proper SA food is pretty good.
