Trading Partner Forum

The AFGC Trading Partner Forum is the meeting place for fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) suppliers and supermarket retailers focusing on delivering end-to-end supply chain efficiency. We collaborate to facilitate industry solutions that drive efficiency and reduce complexity for supplier and retailer trading partners.

The Executive Committee includes representatives from leading Australian and New Zealand supermarkets:

  • retailers, including Coles, Countdown, Foodstuffs, Metcash and Woolworths
  • suppliers, including Primo Foods, L’Oreal, Nestle, SaBrands, Sanitarium and Simplot.

A suite of best practice documents, guidelines and tools have been collaboratively developed by industry for industry. These are available free of charge to industry.

Our work areas include:

Perfect delivery

Data quality

Resources to drive improved integrity and alignment of supply chain master data across business and between trading partners.

Other programs
