Boycotting Israeli Brands?

BOYCOTTING ISRAELI BRANDS?

AoA: Revised post on boycotting Israeli brands. Some new points added in the article are given below in bullet points. Plus I have now myself switched from Nestle yogurt to local brand ADAMS (an old local firm based in Sahiwal that manufactures dairy products like cheese & others). Also, the cost of Nestle yogurt is Rs. 85 while ADAMS yogurt costs Rs. 75.



POINTS ADDED IN THE ARTICLE:


·         It would be easier for us to boycott luxury items or high-priced brands or restaurants but some products and brands fall in the category of daily consumption habits!

·         Some other brands of yogurt launched by local companies like 'Adams' and others are appearing in the market also, and we see some hope.

·         Gourmet Foods and Engro Foods apart from other local companies are the ones which are striving in these times to offer reasonable good-quality food products and brands to the people of Pakistan. And they need all our support.

·         It is a fact that though we learn from the presence of these Multinational firms but they are exploiting us for their own interests and reaping big profits at the expense of our country's growth.

·         The big fish eats the small fish, so local firms find it difficult to compete with the Multinational firms and many times their businesses are not able to flourish.

·         Hence we need to fight the overall system in Pakistan and the world for our independent survival.
