EU Directive 2019/633, on unfair trading practices in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain, made it possible to identify prohibited practices, with the highest incidence (51%) being late payments for perishable products, which should be made within 30 days.
As regards non-perishable products, for which buyers must pay producers within 60 days, late payments did not exceed 15%.
Retail trade (41%) was the sector with the most infringements in the EU in 2022 and 2023, with wholesalers recording a 21% rate of malpractice.
The directive, approved on 17 April 2019, came into force in November 2021 after being transposed into national law by the 27 Member States, and was based on the premise that imbalances in negotiating power between suppliers and buyers of agri-food products are common.
The common agricultural policy in force until 2027 includes measures to promote the weight of suppliers in the supply chain, such as collective bargaining, and an observatory for unfair practices was set up this year.
