    You have to factor in the investment v the potential return , we are talking about a low cost product and a few bob mark up , your going to have to produce and sell mega amounts to make it feasible .

    Who is going to go down there for minimum wage for a start ?, personally I'd want £25 ph which leads to a cauliflower costing you a tenner .

    The only other option is to subsidise the project in my opinion , the tories wouldn't touch it and neither would Labour given the colossal amount of money they already have to spend historically to fix the country after successive tory governments .

    I just can't get past this project is as easy as the study suggests .

    who would want to pick them in the field as peace work??

    just because you would want $25 doesn't mean there won't be someone willing to do it for $7
