A Senate committee will hear today just what small retailers think about a plan to make supermarkets display the unit prices of groceries.
A national mandatory unit pricing scheme was one of the key recommendations of an ACCC inquiry into grocery prices released last week.
While the Rudd government is considering the best way to introduce it, Family First senator Steve Fielding has already introduced his own legislation to parliament.
He wants supermarkets to display unit prices of anything they sell by measure, weight or volume.
The association which represents independent grocery retailers, and the Queensland Consumers Association will give evidence today.
