Farmers, growers, processors and industry representatives are being asked for their views from 31 August for 10 weeks on the role of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). The AHDB is a UK statutory levy board, funded by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain. As we leave the EU, there is an opportunity to ensure that the sectors that the AHDB covers are as competitive as possible. This review will look at the AHDB’s purpose and priorities, its strengths and where improvements need to be made. This is a joint 10-week exercise covering England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The request for views will close on 9 November. click here to have your say... or go straight to Defra to fill out the survey here....Dismiss Notice
