The Competition Council imposed fines totaling 83.2 million lei on 21 companies in the seed and crop protection market for price-fixing agreements. Investigations revealed that producers and distributors colluded to set resale prices for farmers, undermining market competition. Major companies like Agrii, Pioneer, and Corteva received the largest fines. Some companies acknowledged their violations and received reduced penalties, while Agricover benefited from immunity due to its cooperation. The investigation, ongoing for nearly four years, highlighted the importance of maintaining competitive pricing practices.
