A major fruit farmer tells us he fears supermarkets will turn to cheaper imports because British costs of production are just too high. We ask the retailers' representative how supermarkets can keep backing British without increasing shoppers' bills.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
