It’s two big conglomerates battling over money. This doesn’t benefit consumers, it benefits the two giants.
If Carrefour gets a good deal by using it’s shear scale, it will compete with smaller retailers who can’t force a better deal. If it’s doing this to Pepsi, imagine what it does to smaller business and farmers etc.
If Pepsi gets their price rise it’ll increase its profits.
If they compromise halfway, consumers will ultimately still lose out.

It pushes own brand which has much better margin.
How aren’t lower prices a benefit for consumers in principle? (Leaving aside specific questions about health and that Pepsi is overpriced anyway.)
