Abstract
As food prices are both highly volatile and highly visible, the grocery retail market is the object of intense scrutiny by governments and competition authorities, particularly in periods of price instability of agricultural products. Competition authorities, either spontaneously or at the urging of government, have in many countries engaged in market studies or sector inquiries of the food and/or the grocery sector to better understand the pricing of foodstuff. The pricing of milk, bread, oil, flour, sugar, shrimps, mussels, meat, fruits, bananas, vegetables, beer and wine has been analyzed in a variety of countries.
