AHDB not asked levy payers about Red Tractor

[warksfarmer]

The NFU Red Tractor review is supposedly ongoing if you believe them but why hasn’t the AHDB asked it’s levy payers about Red Tractor?

I don’t know any NFU members anymore as everybody has left in disgust.

So that means that the AHDB levy payers who are not NFU members will have no say on the Red Tractor review.

Sounds and looks like more corruption going on to shaft farmers even more.

AHDB Chair Nicholas Saphir said: “We are consistent in stating that it is vital that the reputation of levy payers' produce is maintained by assurance and where relevant, audits, to underpin the work we do on behalf of the industry in regard to promotion in the home and export markets.

“This independent evidence based review will allow us all to understand and address the future needs and opportunities that assurance has to play for the successful future of our industry.”

The AHDB is conducting two additional pieces of work to provide independent insight into assurance schemes, how they operate and why they are needed.

In the Beef and Lamb sector, it will explore how domestic farm standards compare with our international competitors. The first stage of this work will be complete by the end of March 2024.

In the Cereals and Oilseeds sector, AHDB will set out what assurance covers and how it currently works for the different supply sources into our market. It is developing the terms of reference for this work, working with industry, and expect that this work will be complete by next summer.
