If you mean that all of the comparisons to Denmark means that they are best suited to 6 competitors, the largest at 22% of the market , and NZ are best suited to a monopoly of two, ironically operating 6 brands, I didn't miss that point.

 

 

My point is that comparing Denmark to Aotearoa is largely pointless based on simple population count as all metrics need to be compared. Example Denmark is circa 42,000 square KMs Aotearoa is circa 260,000 square KMs. Denmark is flat with concentrated population centres. They are also part of a massive trading block. Just the transport and logistics for a new comer here would probably mean their pricing would more or less the same as the current players. 

 

As I mentioned earlier, both countries have adequate existing supermarket coverage. What I bolded is an assumption, the draft report seems to think otherwise. The report is not about logistical costs its about a skew in favour of the two companies due to no competition, and how suppliers are controlled. I fully agree that transport etc etc will be little different, but the report isn't about those costs. Its about competiton and a low level of variety of goods
