Supplier trade agreements and other business collaborations in the food market

The Competition Authority has today published a report on commercial agreements between suppliers and food retailers, and other business cooperation in the food market. The background to the report is that the Competition Authority has recently collected and reviewed a number of commercial contracts between suppliers and food retailers, and other resellers, in order to assess their impact on competition in the food market. The data collection focused on around 70 suppliers. The report constitutes the conclusion of that investigation. The report also discusses food prices and the lobbying activities of business associations in the food market.
