The UTP rules are designed to protect suppliers of agricultural and food products against unfair commercial practices by buyers. This FAQ provides guidance, notably on the scope of application of the rules and the list of prohibited practices in supplier–buyer relationships.

Its publication confirms the ongoing enforcement focus of the FPS Economy on fair trading practices in the agri-food sector. Companies active in the agri-food supply chain would be well advised to review their contractual arrangements and commercial practices in light of these rules and the FAQ.

👉 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: the guidelines are available in French and Dutch on the FPS Economy website.
