A suggestion changes being agreed to by one of our major supermarket chains don't go far enough.  

It comes after a report by the Commerce Commission found competition was lacking in the grocery sector. 

Foodstuffs North Island, which owns New World, Four Square and Pak'nSave, says it's now willing to support a consumer-focused code of conduct that aims to treat suppliers better. 

It adds it'll look at simplifying promotions and loyalty schemes.
