The best analogy I can use is our local Hunter Valley wine industry.
Individual 'hands on' growers do well, I can think of one in particular
who is picking up many awards and has presold most of his product after
years of struggle. These growers hand pick the fruit and process
carefully, another grower inspects each bunch prior to pressing. They
are not threatened by cask wine or supermaket lines and there is a
growing demand for their product. It is this obvious personal attention
to detail that gives them the edge, something that is appreciated by the
consumer and cannot be duplicated by the large concerns. I dont think
that small growers producing their own product have anything to fear
from the large producers unless they are contracted as suppliers to
those businesses. This could mean that there will be a proliferation of
small mills with plenty of variety of product to interest the consumer.
However I am still interested in the success of the 1 million barnea.
