Supermarkets are looking at whether they can recover damage from blocking actions
Supermarkets are looking at whether they can recover the damage they suffer from farmers’ blockades. According to a spokeswoman for supermarket umbrella organization CBL, it is not yet clear what is possible here, but the “option is on the table”. According to her, the damage to supermarkets is already in the millions of euros after a day of blockages at distribution centers.
This is mainly due to the spoilage of undelivered products, but supermarkets also miss out on sales because there are fewer products on the shelves. According to the CBL, more than ten distribution centers were blocked on Tuesday morning, which is less than on the first day of these actions. The spokeswoman does not want to call it an improvement. “There are still far too many and we hope that action will be taken.”
