The Competition Council has fined 21 companies a total of 83.2 million lei for anti-competitive agreements in the seed and crop protection markets. Major producers like Pioneer and Corteva were involved in price-fixing agreements with distributors, impacting resale prices to farmers. Some companies received reduced fines after admitting to violations, while Agricover was granted immunity. The Council emphasizes that recommended prices should not become mandatory, allowing distributors to set their own prices. The decisions are enforceable and contribute to the state budget.
