The people that work in that factory 100km away aren't Asian bugmen who will work 12 hrs a day for pennies.

NZ dairy prices locally are expensive because it's an export product. It's always a better deal to ship it overseas in bulk, so we pay premium to keep it.
kiwi here. I can explain.
we keep rising the cost of production through minimum wage hikes and increased regulation. Then everybody is astounded when the cost of good increases with a profit margin to suit.
If something cost a dollar more to produce because the govt says wages must be higher, the producer doesn't charge a dollar more, they charge 2 because they have to take on the risk of hiring some maori who can't pull his weight and you can never fire them because muh employment laws. Plus you as the reisk taker want to make a profit, not work for free.
tldr
>Every time minimum wage goes up minimum wage workers get poorer and cheer about it like the fuckwits they are and NEVER learn.
>if it worked, then why didn't the last 30 wage hikes make them richer and have them owning homes?
Its obviously slightly more complicated that this but thats the general idea.
>minimum wage hikes
NZ wage increases have exceeded consumer price increases over the past decade.

Given that inflation is now beating wage rises, if what you were saying was true then we'd be seeing prices come down.

Just realized you said this too.
Lmao, pay a premium to keep the thing that requires expensive shipping to be sold overseas?
Its govt subsidies and foreign ownership(chinese shipping to china) mostly kiking us. What are you an economics major?
If a cow produces milk next door, but you can't buy it next door but instead the govt makes you do a bunch of stuff to get said milk, and also will pay a party to send it overseas, yes milk from next door will be unreasonably expensive.
they are the victims too.
got up early for your mcdonalds breakfast you fat fuck? it's euro hours on this board, better get used to our superior measurements.
imagine only trusting what you see with your own eyes and not what millions of years of the knowledge and research the human race has developed and trusted authority figures. jesus christ you are stupid. What are you gonna tell me next, that the earth is flat?

because domestic consumption CAN pay and therefore WILL pay. this keeps export prices in a range that distributors and suppliers are happy with.
these people constantly spend the elevated profit margins on lobbying. which the government then literally pays them back for under the guise via charitable donations (using long division accounting obfuscation)

listen to his language and tell me he isnt a networked industry man, that being said he is correct. however without these elevated prices, bear in mind NZ doesnt have a powerful enough economy to create a value based system because ots population is so low.
but given that you do have elevated prices a modern country with a fractional population its able to compete on the world stage quite admirably.
yay lobbying, yay subsidies?
holy shit i could not advocate a universal 1% tax rate any harder.
basically this.
OP asked a simple question and that's the simple answer.
>expensive shipping
It's shipped in bulk, mostly powdered milk. Making produce locally has it's own expenses.
I don't know what you're mad about. If anything the supermarket duopoly is the true kikery here.
>what millions of years of the knowledge and research the human race has developed and trusted authority figures.
name one.
