Default Baby Milk Powder supply to China

I'm not sure if this concerns everyone but reading what is happening with the Organic Baby formula from supermarket shelves, being sold at 4x the market price to China and leaving nothing for local families to buy. One has to wonder how this will end.

At the moment there are numerous Chinese businesses and no doubt non chinese businesses who are 'cashing in' on the demand and sending back this formula to China at massive mark ups. They are buying it by the crate fulls leaving nothing for genuine families who NEED this for their child.

I have no issue with people making a dollar, but NOT at the expense of local families who just want to feed their family and not have to spend hours scouring the country to find the formula they need.

Should the supermarkets rashen the supplies to ensure all parents get a fair go in obtaining the formula?
