In the spring of 2024, the Belgian government conducted an extensive review of the agricultural and food supply chains. This investigation highlighted contractual imbalances wherein suppliers, farmers, and franchisees were disadvantaged by dominant players like supermarket chains.
This analysis led to two significant Royal Decrees dated 4 July 2024 and 20 June 2024, aimed at promoting fair business practices in these sectors. Their respective entries into force are 1 October 2024 and 1 January 2025.
It is therefore essential for those targeted by these Royal Decrees to review their existing agreements and make the necessary changes. For a comprehensive understanding of these legislative changes, access our detailed analysis.
