Today our guest isSpokesperson for the competition Commission Sipho Ngwema.
Food prices are set to come under investigation by the Competition Commission, which has launched a public inquiry into the fresh produce sector.
The investigation is aimed at examining whether there are any features in the sector's value chain which either lessen, prevent, or distort competitiveness.
The commission made the announcement on Monday and called on the public to make submissions on the proposed terms of reference on or before April 22.
The probe will allow the commission to understand the state of competition within the industry and the factors that influence the cost of food, challenges faced by small-scale farmers and, more broadly, the importance of the sector in creating employment and ensuring nutrition and welfare of the citizens.
