TESCO WARS

Tesco now controls over 30% of the grocery market in the UK. It is moving into Europe and elsewhere, rapidly challenging and often wiping out smaler, local competitors. In 2010, the supermarket chain announced profits of £3.4bn. Growing evidence indicates that Tesco's success is partly based on trading practices that are having serious consequences for suppliers, farmers and workers worldwide, local shops and the environment.
