Gov’t to launch unit pricing programme at major supermarket chains

The initiative aims to enhance price transparency.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore and the Consumers Association of Singapore will launch a unit pricing pilot programme at major supermarket chains from 1 September.

These include NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Prime Supermarket, Cold Storage and Giant.

The initiative aims to enhance price transparency and help consumers make more informed purchasing decisions. Participating outlets will display unit prices for selected categories of grocery items for eight weeks.  

During the pilot period, consumers may be approached by a market survey firm to provide feedback on the benefits of the programme.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
