Zambians Support Ombudsman

Written by Mark O'Brien

Calls for a Supermarket Ombudsman received further backing when Zambian farmers added their support to the campaign to regulate the new UK groceries supply code.

In a letter from the Zambia Export Growers Association to DBIS Secretary of State Peter Mandelson, Chief Executive Luke Mbewe says his members have experienced the constant imposition of unfair practices by their UK trading partners.

This is the second show of support for the ombudsman from abroad in recent weeks, following a similar letter from the Windward Island Farmers Association. The ombudsman was a key recommendation of the Competition Commission following its investigation into supermarket practices.
