All major Canadian grocers, including Walmart and Costco, have agreed to sign the Grocery Sector Code of Conduct, bringing fairness, transparency, and predictability to the country's grocery supply chain. The code aims to provide guidelines for fair negotiations, leveling the playing field for suppliers and smaller retailers. This significant development comes after years of industry participation and initial hesitance from some major retailers like Loblaw. The federal, provincial, and territorial agriculture ministers announced this milestone during their annual meeting in Whitehorse, marking a crucial step towards enhancing the grocery industry's operations and benefiting consumers.
