NFU's work guarantees the continuation of the GCA

17 Mai 2023

During the UK Farm to Fork Summit held at Number 10, the NFU was pleased to hear Defra confirm the GCA (Grocery Code Adjudicator) role will continue and not be merged with the Competition and Markets Authority.

The GCA is the UK’s first independent adjudicator to oversee the relationship between supermarkets and their suppliers.

Established in 2013, its role is to make sure that retailers treat their direct suppliers lawfully and fairly by investigating suspected breaches of the Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP) and arbitrating in disputes.

The government is required to review the role of the GCA every three years.

“We are pleased to see Defra have recognised the importance and taken onboard the points raised in our consultation response.”
