He is right that people are being exploited somewhere along the chain, but surely the answer is to stop supermarkets making billions in profits rather than making food in an already struggling nation more expensive?

In a socialist system you can account for the worker exploitation and attempt to fix it. Under global capitalism any price increase enforced at the imperial core end just means more profit for the capitalists. It does not mean that wages have increased in the exploited parts of the chain to account for the cost.
