The Commerce Commission has decided to issue a Statement of Issues relating to the application from J&P Turner Limited (JPT) seeking clearance for it, or any interconnected body corporate, to acquire up to 100 percent of the shares in Turners & Growers Fresh Limited (T&G Fresh).
The Statement of Issues will be published on the Commission’s case register in due course and will outline the potential competition issues with the acquisition following the Commission’s initial investigation. The Statement of Issues will invite submissions from JPT, T&G Fresh and any other interested parties.
The Statement of Issues is not a final decision and does not mean that the Commission intends to decline or clear the application.
The Commission is currently scheduled to make a decision on the application by 26th of August 2026, although it is in discussions with JPT to extend time. If a new decision date is agreed, this will be published on the Commission’s case register.
