Commercial negotiations: tensions between mass distribution and manufacturers
On October 26, food industry players and mass distribution retailers were summoned to the Ministry of the Economy to prepare for the annual commercial negotiations scheduled for December. The following day, Dominique Schelcher, CEO of Coopérative U, warned that food prices would rise after these negotiations, despite the pressure on purchasing power. The preparation meeting was subsequently postponed to November 2 due to a scheduling conflict among the ministers involved. On October 28, Minister Serge Papin stated that the upcoming inflation in mass distribution 'must be controlled' as the negotiations approach.
