Watchdog Winds Up Probes of Dairy Products, Egg Markets in Hungary
Hungary's Competition Office (GVH) on Monday announced the completion of accelerated probes of the dairy products and egg markets.

GVH identified an increase in the price of milk across Europe and higher production costs among factors boosting retail prices of dairy products, while a government-mandated cap on markups of basic foods had a mitigating effect.

GVH found that higher feed, energy, labour and logistics costs weighed on the egg sector, along with a drop in output due to bird flu. It also pointed to the impact of seasonality caused by the procurement practices of some supermarket chains.
