Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Commercial negotiations: tensions between distributors and agrifood industrialists.

Left

Centre

Highlights the postponement of the preparation meeting to November 2, explained by a scheduling conflict of the ministers concerned, as well as the announcement of spring price increases despite pressure on purchasing power.

Right

  • =Dominique Schelcher, CEO of Coopérative U, announces food price increases in the spring.
