[QUOTE="tristan, post: 12572, member: 30"] part of the costs increase is our own doing. many beeks have been running inefficient business because they could afford to. but also with some of the expenses, eg testing. many still test per drum and sell per drum. instead of testing (and selling) per batch (eg 10 drums). people complain about treatment cost, but its not really all that much. many firms have excess staff which costs them substantially more. i think there will be more focus on machinery and setups to be as efficient as possible so less staff are needed. but also retaining good staff. that requires money upfront, and lack of investment has been a big issue. i think many went down the route of lots of cheap staff and thats bit them.
