New Zealand's Grocery Commissioner Pierre van Heerden is reviewing the Grocery Supply Code, introduced under the Grocery Industry Competition Act, to assess its effectiveness in tackling power imbalances between suppliers and major supermarkets. The review will consider areas for improvement and whether the Code needs to be amended, revoked, or replaced. Consultations with suppliers, retailers, and industry players are being held, with submissions due by September 16, 2024.
