Asda banana price cut angers pressure group
United Kingdom
Friday 31 March 2006
Watchdog group Banana Link has criticised Wal-Mart owned retailer Asda for reducing the price of its bananas.
Banana Link said the cut in prices would directly affect the lives of plantation workers in West Africa and Latin America.
And it fears that the situation would get even worse if Asda's rivals in The UK decide to implement price cuts of their own.
