Australian grocery distribution and marketing firm Metcash has entered a long-term supply agreement with Foodland Supermarket to supply groceries to Foodland supermarkets across South Australia.

Foodland Supermarket is the governing body for independent Foodland supermarket retailers in South Australia.

As part of the agreement, Metcash will supply groceries from its new distribution centre in South Australia for a period of ten years.

The company announced plans to establish this distribution centre in May, during which it has signed a long-term supply agreement.

The latest deal excludes Drakes Foodland supermarkets in South Australia, as it opted not to make a commitment to have its supermarkets supplied from Metcash’s distribution centre.
