A three-month public consultation on how to make the EU food supply chain fairer was launched by the European Commission on 16 August 2017.

All citizens and organisations, ranging from farmers to public institutions, are invited to contribute their views on how to improve farmers’ position in the food supply chain, specifically concerning unfair trading practices; market transparency; and producer cooperation.

The consultation will run until 17 November 2017 and the results will complement work on the simplification and modernisation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
