AHDB TO LAUNCH OWN SELF CERTIFICATION SCHEME
Well this should be the easy plan, and may save @AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds if they act quickly.
Is this the way forward to put the power back in our hands where it belongs?
Bullet Points:
AHDB Subsidiary Company as per Schedule1, using some of our Levy to fund it.
Grower simple self certification that they comply with UK legislation.
AHDB Online platform to print movement licenses.
Farmers also given chance to log disputed claims.
That’s it.
Come on @AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds , this is simple given the will.
Notes:
We self certify most aspects of our life and follow UK law.
No need for farm or paperwork inspections.
We also adhere to NRoSO and NSTS.
UK legislation, and Union Flag far more valuable then Red Tractor Logo
If a company wishes to sell a premium product and requires the farmer to supply to a higher standard, then they will have to pay a premium, and this is the role of an Assurance Scheme.
The AHDB is the perfectly placed vehicle for this, as stated in The Article extracts below.
