Planet Retail 25 Nov 2008

In Hungary, farmers have held a series of demonstrations protesting against the purchasing and payment terms of the country's major grocery retailers. A spokesperson for Hungarian agricultural association MOSZ (Mezogazdasági Szövetkezok és Termelok Országos Szövetsége) confirmed that poultry, dairy and meat producers have staged protests outside supermarket warehouse facilities in three cities - Gyal, Alsonemedi and Budaors. The protests were orchestrated to increase pressure on Hungary's major supermarkets to stock largely Hungarian products, the spokesperson told just-food.com.
