French government issues warning over new food price battle
France's Minister of Agriculture has accused major supermarket chains of not playing fair during price negotiations to determine what our yoghurts, frozen peas and other foodstuffs will cost over the next few months.
Discussions are due to conclude by March 1, in the light of a new law which aims to improve transparency between supermarkets, food manufacturers and farmers.
But Julien Denormandie says big businesses are reluctant to do the right thing.
