[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7416293, member: 946"] Maybe not to you, although it does give you access to more buyers but it is useful for processors and retailers. They use it to show the people they buy off, farm to a standard and are regularly audited, so if there's a problem somewhere they can show they were trying to be responsible. This works in reverse for the farmers. If you have a contract with someone you might have different terms, some dairy processors want RT+ more hoops. But you might be able to do a direct deal with someone that doesn't want it. If you're growing a crop for the open market and want the maximum number of buyers, which seems to be what most farmers in the UK do, then you're probably going to have to show them, you've ticked all the boxes. Better one scheme than each buyer having different requirements surely? If you're exporting you'll probably find each country has different rules. [/QUOTE]
