In Australia, there has been a long struggle between purchasing agents and local residents.
Local people think that Chinese purchasing agents have seized the resources they deserve, but the purchasing agents think there is something wrong with me doing my business. Everyone is on the other side.
However, in recent days, the dispute has escalated, a Chinese father in Sydney wrote to complain that Chinese purchasing agents have seized milk powder resources, and even let his children:
There`s really no milk powder to drink. .
Write a complaint
A recent handwritten letter from Sydney`s Chinese father, Ivan Chan, has sparked heated discussion on the Internet. The letter reads as follows:
"with some customers buying eight or more cans of formula, we are a group of customers who are trying to get infant formula for our babies.
We have to keep calling the Sydney store to find milk powder for our children. As Woolworths increases the limit per customer to 8 cans per customer, the problem becomes even more serious.
We ask Woolworths to reduce the limit to two cans per customer to ensure adequate supply to Australian families. "
It is reported that in August this year, the, Woolworths change purchase policy said: the number of infant milk powder restrictions rose to 8 cans per customer.
Because of the limited amount of milk powder on display each time, Mr. Chan had to rush to buy milk powder for his children on a daily basis.
He was so exhausted that he could not help but find other parents in the same situation and write such a letter.
Chinese consumers scramble to buy milk powde
According to the Daily Mail, Chinese consumers` demand for Australian formula has also soared as a result of the emergence of purchasing agents.
Many consumers are even willing to pay more than 10 times the original price for high-quality Australian milk powder.
Mr Chan said: because some Chinese customers have bought eight cans or more of milk powder, it is very difficult for us to get the milk powder that our children normally need.
Mr. Chan, along with two others, asked Woolworths to lower the quota to ensure adequate supply to Australian families.
A spokesman for Woolworths said in an interview: because of the increase in the market supply, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of infant formula restrictions.
Its spokesman also said the Woolworths continued to carefully monitor the stock of infant milk powder, supply arrangements and customer feedback, and adjust the limits again as needed.
What do they say?
The letter from the Chinese father in Sydney was widely reported by the Australian media, which described Mr Chan as "heartbroken father".
"I`d love to sign a petition book that limits the purchase of powdered milk powder," said Tuao`s netizens. "even though the Woolworths limit is 8 cans, I`ve never bought eight cans, at least I`ve bought them at coles."
"that`s disgusting."
"Woolworths only cares about its profits and revenues, and never looks at things from a customer`s point of view."
"by the way, you can imagine buying all the farms in Australia during a food shortage in China. For the future and the growing population around the world, food security is a real concern for many. "
"government can ban the export of infant formula without an export certificate, so it is only allowed to import infant formula from the manufacturer to the importer in China."
"government can ban the export of infant formula without an export certificate, so it is only allowed to import infant formula from the manufacturer to the importer in China."
epilogue
I believe we can see that Australian residents are generally calm, on the issue of milk powder restrictions, we all agree that the issue of Woolworths purchase policy.
In the case of Woolworths, raising the limit on the purchase of milk powder is intended to stimulate consumption and increase profitability. However, when it comes to corporate interests, is it possible to take a consumer`s stand and think about it?
