The Trading Partner Forum (TPF) is the meeting place for FMCG suppliers and supermarket retailers focusing on delivering end-to-end value chain efficiency.

A recommitment from the Australian Food and Grocery Council, New Zealand Food and Grocery Council and leading supermarket retailers: Coles, Foodstuffs, Metcash, Progressive and Woolworths establishes the platform for a broad-reaching, strong, and cohesive industry body as is required to deliver efficiency and improved availability across the shared end-to-end value chain, and which will ultimately provide great outcomes for our shared customer - the shopper.

We recognise that we work in a challenging and highly competitive environment, and need a strong and cohesive body to address the issues and pursue the opportunities we face across the value chain. The Trading Partner Forum is the meeting place for retailers and suppliers focusing on making this happen.

In markets the size of Australia and New Zealand it makes a lot of sense to strive to align and standardise processes on non-competitive issues, to provide for the most efficient value chain operations possible, and delivering benefits to the industry participants and to the shopper.

We are looking forward to working together with our constituency to deliver real value to the industry.
