Consumer group concerned about customer compact

The island’s main consumer advocacy group is adamant that the six-month Social Partnership Food Prices Compact which expires on January 31, has not benefited consumers.Executive Director of the Barbados Consumer Empowerment Network (BCEN) Maureen Holder said on Tuesday that even with the cap that had been put in place on 44 essential items in July last year, prices in the supermarkets remain too high.She is warning that Barbadians will be worse off if the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) sticks to its position that members may not renew the contract when they meet again with Government to review the arrangement.President of the Chamber Anthony Branker has said that the only thing they are certain of is that the organisation is willing to listen to what the Government comes up with and to have a discussion.
