The French president Emmanuel Macron wants to shake up the food sector and ensure producers are price setters rather than price takers.
The plans, which are part of the president’s ambitions to address the imbalance of power in the food sector, are aimed at returning more money to farmers.
Under his plans, the starting price in negotiations would be set by farmers, so food prices could better reflect the cost of production.
French farmers, as in the UK, have borne the brunt of an intense supermarket price war over the past few years, which have contributed to squeezed margins.
Could this be the way forward for the UK also???
