The initiative committee that organized the boycott of retail chains has announced the end of its protests. In a statement to the media, the organizers of the boycotts announced that their demands have been partially met by the draft law on the supply chain of agricultural products and food presented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

The result of the five boycotts is a partial victory for both consumers and food producers, the initiative committee said.

So far, there have been five boycotts of retail chains, held on five consecutive Thursdays. In the first one, the retail chains reported a 30% decrease in turnover. In the second one, the decrease was less than 3%. In the last two boycotts, their turnover increased, which is likely due to the promotions offered on those days.
