Defra launches review into unfair practices in the egg supply chain

A review focused on putting an end to unfair practices in the egg supply chain has been launched today by the government.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has taken a significant step towards ensuring fairness in the egg industry. With the launch of this review, Defra aims to identify and eliminate any unfair practices that may exist in the supply chain. This move comes as part of the government's commitment to promoting transparency and accountability in the agricultural sector.

The review will assess various aspects of the egg supply chain, including pricing mechanisms, contracts, and the relationships between producers, packers, and retailers. By examining these factors, Defra aims to understand the challenges faced by different stakeholders and develop effective strategies to address them. The ultimate goal is to create a level playing field for all participants in the egg industry, ensuring fair competition and sustainable growth.
