That is always going to end in disaster, and throw in the fact that actively promotes fraud and inefficient practices gives it only way to go.
Supermarkets were already paying stupidly low prices for produce, as they had either bought up or suborned the creameries and abattoirs. The whole point of the CAP payments was down to farmers in France and Germany being no longer able to earn enough from the sale of their food to cover the costs of growing or rearing it. You're mistaking effect for cause.
But then again, brexshitters never knew a good thing when it came along.
