Additional powers for agri-food regulator announced
The regulator will now have additional powers to compel the provision of price and market information from businesses in circumstances where voluntary requests for such information have not been complied with.
In an effort to enhance transparency in the food supply chain, additional powers were awarded to the agri-food regulator.
Agriculture minister Martin Heydon this week announced the introduction of the new regulations that will enhance powers on the agri-food regulator, fulfilling a key commitment under the programme for government to strengthen transparency and fairness across the agri-food supply chain.
