PARIS: Weighing up pressure from both France’s powerful farmers and violent “yellow vest” protests, the government on Wednesday put forward a schedule for next year’s postponed rise in minimum food prices and curbs on bargain sales. Food prices are a major element of a wide “field-to-fork” review promised by President Emmanuel Macron to appease farmers, a large and active constituency in France, who have long complained about low margins and retail wars.
