The Flemish Government, following the lead of European member states, has approved a initiative to increase transparency in the agri-food chain. This will result in more detailed and frequent pricing information for a variety of agricultural products being made available, including both unprocessed and processed items such as meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables, and sugar. This data, to be published weekly online, is aimed at helping all market participants, including farmers and small businesses, to better understand market trends. The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries will manage this process, with sector federations and individual market operators also involved in providing data.
