Food pricing study announced
Chairman Marian Finucane confirmed the CLP has signed an agreement with UCC to conduct the six-month study which will assess the data sources on the price of food in Ireland.
It will also recommend a model for monitoring food prices. The results will be and presented to Agriculture and Food Minister Mary Coughlan.
Ms Finucane said the panel is concerned a lack of transparency in food prices makes it difficult to reach conclusions on the share of the retail price going to each sector along the supply chain.
