    "content": "Secondly, it will get worse because as we liberalise the economy and internationalise it, we are getting the Carrefours and other foreign companies coming in. As they do, they bring improvements as they come. However, if they were to retreat, you can wake up one morning and find the companies no longer exist and yet you have been supplying them. That can be a real problem. I do not think this law can cure that because once they are out of our borders; there is nothing one can do. I think when negotiating terms that border on the interests of the small sellers, they must work together and create economies of scale. With the economy of scale in supply, they can negotiate with the buying company because they know if they do not behave well, they will be denied supplies. When a small buyer does not have this option, he thinks if he raises his voice, he might not be paid although he can quietly retreat, get paid and fail to supply anymore. I think this is a real issue."
