I completely understand your concern. Coles’ decision to simplify its product range may be driven by efficiency and consumer demand, but it can have significant repercussions for small Australian food brands. These smaller entities often rely on retailers like Coles to reach a broader audience, and such a move can limit their exposure and marketability.
It’s important for major retailers to strike a balance between streamlining their offerings and supporting local businesses, which contribute to the diversity and innovation in the food industry. If these brands are pushed out, we might lose a variety of unique products that reflect Australian culture and regional specialties.
Moreover, the power dynamics between large retailers and small producers can easily tilt, making it even harder for the latter to compete. I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on how we can advocate for more equitable practices that support local brands while still meeting consumer needs.
