minus-squareSorteKanin@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoThat’s way too much for one company. Is it just me or does the world just keep making more and more monopolies?
minus-squareZagorath@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·9 months agoThat’s how capitalism works.
minus-squareAltima NEO@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoIt’s just deceivingly worded. It’s not like they took that much out of the total supply, taking away from others that would have needed it. Reality is that hazelnut farmers were farming them in order to sell them to Ferrero.
minus-squareCarighan Maconar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoOr we just don’t actually have that many hazelnuts. Or Ferrero just makes some really yummy stuff and hence it’s bought in insane amounts.
minus-squareSorteKanin@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoIf its such a lucrative business for Ferrero, how come there aren’t competitors enough to make it so they can’t hog 25%?
minus-squareMouselemming@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoAmerican candy manufacturing mostly uses peanuts and/or almonds instead, so they compete but not for filberts/hazelnuts. I will also contend that they’re not that good a nut on their own, they need chocolate to achieve their true destiny.
minus-squareGreyEyedGhost@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoI have to downvote you on the hazelnuts not being very good. They’re one of my favorite nuts, and they look cool!
