In response to the Agriculture and Horticulture Improvement Board (AHDB), trade stakeholders have demonstrated help for its proposed levy improve.
The levy is deliberate to extend throughout all 4 sectors it helps – pork, beef and lamb in England, dairy in Nice Britain and cereals and oilseeds in the UK.
AHDB acknowledged that the proposals, which had been revealed by the Sector Councils in October, have now been put to Authorities Ministers and Devolved Administrations for them to decide. That is anticipated to be seen in Q1 2024.

Will Jackson, divisional director for engagement acknowledged: “We’ve got beneficial to Ministers to approve levy will increase within the 4 sectors we serve. We’re delighted to be doing this with the help of so many trade stakeholders who recognise the worth that AHDB demonstrates via the levy and wish us to do extra.
“The levy charge has not elevated for over 20 years in some sectors and our spending energy has vastly deteriorated over that point as a result of inflation and the lack of our VAT standing. If a levy improve is accepted, AHDB can proceed to ship the dear issues that levy payers have advised us are vital to them and improve our actions the place levy payers have requested us to do extra with a purpose to meet their expectations.”
