Farmers are appealing to Supermarket shareholders to ensure their boards and management teams are engaging with the competition watchdog’s report into checkout prices.

Rural Reporter Emily Minney spoke with The federation’s Horticulture Council Chairman Jolyon Burnett, who says they expect shareholders to cooperate with the probe.
