Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022
Public bill · Government · Presented
Sets up an independent Agri Food Regulator to make the food and farming supply chain fairer and more open. It gives the regulator powers to publish price and market information, check compliance, investigate complaints, inspect records, and take action against unfair buying practices such as late payment, sudden contract changes, unfair fees, and retaliation against suppliers. It also lets the Minister make detailed rules and penalties, so farmers, fishers and small food businesses have stronger protection when dealing with bigger buyers.
