Although annual negotiations between French supermarkets and their suppliers officially ended on Monday (1 March), the “price war” that has once again fuelled tensions this year is far from over. EURACTIV France reports.

The annual negotiation of purchase prices between supermarkets and the farmers and industrialists who supply food products to them has been a divisive issue since 2008 – the year this exercise was made mandatory.
