The Commerce Commission has just released its draft report of its study into the grocery sector. The Commission has been looking at the main supermarket chains for more than a year, focusing on the price, quality and range available to customers, whether the major retailers have too much bargaining power and if they co-ordinate with each other to profit more. RNZ business reporter Kim Savage has been at the Commerce Commission's presentation this morning and talks to Kathryn.
