新西兰超市市场长期由两家大企业主导的局面引发各政党改革建议。Foodstuffs和Woolworths占据了新西兰杂货市场约82%的份额1，尽管商务委员会在四年多前发布过相关报告，市场集中度至今仍未得到改善1。面对这一问题，各政党提出了截然不同的解决方案。
National党和New Zealand First支持通过拆分来打破垄断，National计划将Foodstuffs重组为全国性的Pak'nSave集团和分离的New World/Four Square集团1。Labour党则主张从业务层面入手，提议分离Foodstuffs和Woolworths的批发和零售运营1。ACT党聚焦于消除监管障碍，要求降低规划和监管层面的阻碍1。相比之下，Greens党主张更激进的改革方向，提议国有化120家超市以创建KiwiMart公共连锁1。商务委员会曾在2022年的市场研究中明确考虑过零售批发分离的方案，但最终未提出该建议1。
分析人士认为，这些政策虽然各有侧重，但如果采用市场塑造的理念将最佳方案综合应用，可能会更有效地降低食品价格并增加市场竞争1。澳大利亚的Metcash模式提供了参考案例，该模式中独立批发商为1200多家独立IGA门店提供供应1，展现了批发零售分离架构的可行性。
New Zealand's major political parties have each put forward distinct proposals to address the country's highly concentrated grocery sector, where Foodstuffs and Woolworths control approximately 82% of the market 1. Despite a Commerce Commission report issued over four years ago, market concentration has not improved, prompting renewed calls for intervention 1.
The proposed solutions vary significantly in their approach. The National Party and New Zealand First have advocated for breaking up Foodstuffs by reorganizing it into a nationwide Pak'nSave group and a separate New World/Four Square entity 1. Labour, by contrast, has proposed separating the wholesale and retail operations of both Foodstuffs and Woolworths 1. The ACT Party has taken a lighter regulatory stance, focusing on reducing planning and regulatory barriers to entry 1. The Greens have advocated for a more radical approach, proposing to nationalize 120 supermarkets to establish KiwiMart, a publicly-owned chain 1.
The Commerce Commission's 2022 market research explicitly considered wholesale-retail separation as a potential remedy but ultimately did not recommend it 1. Australia's Metcash model, which supplies over 1,200 independent IGA stores through an independent wholesaler, offers a potential template for addressing New Zealand's supermarket competition challenges 1.
