Fresh produce suppliers are being urged to respond to the second annual survey into retail relations from Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) Christine Tacon.
Tacon said the survey, which is open until 1 May and run by YouGov, is a “crucial tool” in creating a picture of the relationships between retailers and suppliers, and has called on suppliers to “respond in force”.
It is open to trade associations, other representative bodies as well as direct and indirect retail suppliers, with results set to be announced at the GCA conference, held in Westminster on 22 June 2015.
“I want a high level of response from suppliers to give me a deep understanding of what is happening in the sector; I will use the results to work with the retailers on the practices that need to change,” said Tacon.
“This is the second survey YouGov has conducted on my behalf and I particularly want to know how retailer practices have changed over the past 12 months.
“I hear from suppliers throughout the year but my annual survey is a crucial tool in creating the broadest possible picture of the relationship between retailers and their suppliers.
