CP in scramble over egg prices

CP Vietnam admitted raising prices to optimise profits ahead of Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, at a meeting with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade.

Demand for eggs traditionally increases before Tet, which falls on Feb 10 this year.

    This is a typicl behavior of CP and supermarkets in Thailand in general.
    Just have a look at cp´s frozen ready made food,what a low quality and even lower value for money.
    This greedy companies needs much stronger competition in order to bring their high profit down and better price for the general customer!
