Retailers are set to slash the price of vegetables next week, according to Fianna Fail Spokesperson on Agriculture Eamon O Cuiv.
Retailers, when contacted by Agriland, said they were not in a position to confirm or deny the allegations.
O Cuiv said the move is reminiscent of that seen in December 2013 when retailers cut the price of fruit and vegetables in a bid to lure customers into shops in the weeks leading up to the large Christmas shop.
