flag New Zealand's Commerce Commission surveys suppliers to address unfair practices by dominant supermarkets.

flag The Commerce Commission is conducting an anonymous survey to uncover challenges faced by supermarket suppliers in New Zealand, many of whom fear retaliation from dominant retailers that control about 80% of the market. flag A 2024 survey revealed concerns over lack of transparency, unfair negotiation pressure, and poor communication, especially for smaller suppliers. flag While the Grocery Supply Code mandates openness and dispute resolution, some suppliers still report being pressured into unfavorable terms. flag Woolworths received higher ratings than Foodstuffs North Island, which scored lower across all measures. flag The new survey aims to inform potential regulatory actions, including proposals to require supermarkets to pay suppliers more when selling discounted goods at higher prices.
