Many farmers found it very difficult to harvest their potatoes this year. Some of them were tied into contracts to supply a certain number of tonnes to Aldi but the cost of doing so had risen for them. If suppliers in such a situation said to Aldi that their costs had gone up, would Aldi react and agree to pay them more to supply the potatoes, even though their contracts specified a lower price?
