Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA)

The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) was established in 2013 with the primary aim of regulating unfair pricing practices within the grocery sector, which includes the dairy industry. The establishment of the GCA was a significant step towards promoting fairness and transparency in the dealings between suppliers and large retailers.

Despite its crucial role, the GCA has faced challenges, particularly regarding its effectiveness. Concerns have been raised about the limited resources available to the GCA, which may impact its ability to fully address the issues it was created to resolve.
