Some horticultural growers and traders have continued to ignore warnings about breaching conditions of the Horticulture Code of Conduct, despite repeated warnings from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

Introduced on 14 May 2007, the Code regulates trading of horticulture produce, with the aim of providing greater commercial
transparency in transactions between growers and wholesale traders.

While the ACCC said it has had positive responses from some traders and associations, there have been a number of instances where they have backdated contracts to avoid obligations under the Code, which became law on 14 May 2007.
