UK supermarkets: Why don'tthey se
When you pop your ready meal into the microwave
fl\ at the end of a long day at work, you're likely to be
thinking how hungry you are, rather than marvel
at the fact that the meal itself may well have been
produced outside the UK.
The recent scandal at Waitrose, which was forced
to rebrand the lamb ready meals in its ' British'
range because some are made with lamb from New
Zealand, has highlighted the issue. When we go into
a supermarket, we're at the very centre of a huge web
of food and drink trading relationships. In fact, just
half of the food we eat in the UK originates here, with
most of the rest imported from Europe.
On top of this, the pound's 14% fall against the
euro since the Brexit vote means imports cost more ..
Supermarkets are secretive on just how much they

the "Big Four· to answer my email on this question. It
has pledged to recruit 200 more British suppliers after
a report it commissioned found global uncertainties.
The chain is already in an unusual position in that it
already owns a slaughterhouse and meat-processing
operations, as well as produce-packing sites, making
it easier for it to be more self-reliant. For many of its
rivals, replicating this kind of domestic supply chain
would be much tougher.

Can Toshiba escape fate of corporate Japan's zombie hordes?
Once a household name, Toshiba is now bleeding
billions of dollars and frantically trying to reassure
investors that it will not give in to the kiss of death.
The company admitted this week that its survival
is at risk following a major accounting scandal and
an ill-timed investment in nuclear power. Toshiba
is a "walking dead" financially, says Gerhard Fasol,
chief executive of Eurotechnology Japan: Zombie
companies are loosely defined as loss-making or
insolvent entities that should be allowed to fail, but
continue to operate because of merciful creditors.
Thousands exist in Japan and the issue is considered
to be a reason why Japan's economy risks suffering
from a third ' lost decade".
All Toshiba needs now is a bailout from the
Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ),
a government-backed body that rescues ailing
companies, for this to happen. The fact that overall
bankruptcies have fallen for eight years in a row
is praised by Japan's Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe,
as a sign of economic success. However, many
investors are not fans of this option. They argue that
zombie firms need to be killed off, so that "creative
destruction" can take place. If the government gets
involved, Toshiba might be found back on the brink
again sometime in the future.
