According to market sources, producers and consumers are in a lot of trouble due to the high commission charged by some supermarkets for the sale of other non-food items.
It is also said that the supermarket owners are asking the manufacturers to increase the 20% commission charged so far to 25% and the 30% commission to 35% for the sale of certain products.
Market sources also say that the supermarket owners are exerting strong pressure on the manufacturers to increase the commission, citing reasons such as the increase in VAT and electricity charges.
The manufacturers have informed the superstore owners that if the commission is increased in this way, the price of the goods should be increased accordingly and thus the consumers will be treated unfairly.
Producers say that increasing the commission charged by supermarkets is grossly unfair in view of the current situation in the country.
