Wheat milling cartel referred for prosecution

The Competition Commission, subsequent to its investigation into collusion in the wheat milling market, has referred its findings  to the Competition Tribunal against Pioneer Foods (Pty) Limited (“Pioneer”), Foodcorp (Pty) Limited trading as Ruto Mills (“Foodcorp”), Godrich Milling (Pty) Limited (“Godrich”), Premier Foods (Pty) Ltd (“Premier Foods”) and Tiger Brands Ltd (“Tiger Brands”).

The case was initiated following revelations by Premier Foods during the bread cartel investigation that the cartel, which involved largely the same companies, also covered their milling operations. Premier Foods and Tiger Brands were subsequently granted conditional immunity from prosecution by the Commission provided that they fully co-operate in the Commission’s investigation and prosecution of this case.
