Fertiliser suppliers have agreed to remove unfair terms in their contracts that disadvantage farmers or else face pecuniary penalties following the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s investigation of complaints.

“We initiated an investigation after receiving complaints that fertiliser suppliers were using contracts in a way that could disadvantage farmers,” ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh said on Monday.
