Work on Grocery Code of Conduct Underway

Canada is developing its first-ever Grocery Code of Conduct.

Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and André Lamontagne, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food say the agri-food industry has been making substantial progress.

They strongly encourage all agri-food organizations to participate in the upcoming consultations.

The Code will enhancing transparency, predictability and fair dealings and make Canada’s food supply chain more resilient. 

With businesses working together, they say, the Code of Conduct can be even more effective, which will not only benefit the industry, but consumers as well.

Bibeau and Lamontagne note that a Grocery Code of Conduct will not address all pressures facing the food supply chain.
