Have you just not heard of price collusion in the past?
Who will force you to follow it? I mean if you think that the companies are keeping prices artificially high, thanks to free market, you can open your own store with fair prices.
You will get most of consumers because you are cheaper and you make quite a lot of money because everyone comes to you.
That's literally not going to happen. People are going to do what's convenient, and when grocery stores have already priced out nearly every mom & pop grocer, there is no competition.
And if you open another grocery store, you'll be beaten by market share and economy of scale.
Seriously dude, the "magic hand" of capitalism is busted when you're talking about billions of dollars of force tipping the scales in large corporations' favor.
So if it is convenient for people to pay unfair prices, they can. If they are unhappy, they can start their own shop. It’s fully their choice. If there are issues with crops, vegetables, etc. prices will go automatically up unless we find a way how to control weather.
Also, the statement that opening a grocery store automatically means they will be beaten by the economy is very incorrect because by this logic there would be zero grocery stores.
