Supporting a Supermarket Competitor

This Request for information asks for responses from parties looking to enter, or expand their current offering, in the New Zealand retail grocery market at a national scale.

We are interested to understand the current regulatory or commercial barriers that may limit entry or expansion, and what Government support may be needed to facilitate this entry or expansion by these parties.

The RFI will be used to inform the Government’s considerations into possible next steps for improving competition in the grocery market.
