JPP wants fair price for farmers and more transparency in the food chain

dnoticias.pt13 September 2026 at 09:16

The Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) presented in the Assembly of the Republic a bill proposal to strengthen the protection of agricultural and food producers. The party argues that no farmer should be forced to sell their production below actual cost.

The initiative was presented by deputy Filipe Sousa and includes measures such as mandatory written and transparent contracts, clearer rules for price formation, protection of producers against discounts and promotions, and public indicators.

The JPP argues that it is necessary to guarantee greater transparency in the food chain and protect farmers from unfair commercial practices. The proposal aims to balance commercial relations between producers and the rest of the distribution chain.

Why this matters

This legislative proposal directly affects farmers and food producers in the region, who may benefit from greater protection against commercial practices that force them to sell below production cost. The initiative comes following growing concerns about fairness in the food chain and the economic sustainability of the agricultural sector.
