Lidl has cut prices on branded coffee in Germany, intensifying competition in a key grocery category. The discounter lowered selected products from suppliers including Lavazza, Melitta, Jacobs and Tchibo, following earlier reductions on its Bellarom own-label range. The move reflects easing raw coffee costs and adds pressure on rival grocers to match discounts in a high-profile staple category. (Lebensmittel Zeitung)
