The Commerce Commission is ramping up efforts to disrupt the supermarket monopoly.

It says supplier charges and promotional pricing are reinforcing the dominance of Foodstuffs and Woolworths.

It's proposing a simplified grocery code, reducing the range of payments that supermarkets can charge suppliers.

Grocery expert Ernie Newman told Ryan Bridge that supermarkets are receiving billions of dollars in discounts - which largely aren't being passed on to consumers.

He says there's more money floating around in the sector than the Commerce Commission had previously identified.
