The Competition Commission has published the final terms of reference for the Fresh Produce Market Inquiry. The inquiry will examine whether any features in the fresh produce value chain impede, restrict, or distort competition in the market. The commission’s statement says the market inquiry will focus on particular issues at each layer of the value chain. The scope of the inquiry will cover aspects from the sale of fresh produce by the farmer to the customer. It says it will look at the efficiency of the value chain, market dynamics and barriers to entry, expansion and participation.
To discuss this issue further, we are joined by the Competition Commission spokesperson Siyabulela Makunga.
