Unfair Trading Practices: Discussion

Something that came up when we were considering this previously, apart from the fact that the price farmers are receiving is too low, is that they are not being adequately compensated for the so-called fifth quarter of the animal, a lot of which goes into the pet food industry. Pet food is a massive industry, running to billions in Europe. That is another issue here. Would legislation be required to change the remit of the Groceries Code Adjudicator to including pricing?
