Farmers and fruit growers in Greater Poland were forced to sell their fruit at below-market prices for over two years. This was the result of price-fixing by fruit purchasing centres.

Do you think you are buying Polish tomatoes, but in reality they come from another country? Incorrect labelling of the country of origin is misleading and violates your rights as a consumer. The President of UOKiK ordered extensive inspections by the Trade Inspection Authority and issued decisions imposing fines amounting to millions of zlotys. Effects? The scale of irregularities in shops is now negligible, and consumers now have reliable information about the country of origin of products.

Did businesses purchasing soft fruit in the Wielkopolska region unlawfully fix prices? The President of UOKiK has brought charges against five companies and one individual managing a company. Local farmers and orchard owners may have been selling their produce at reduced prices for three years.
