NFU writes to Chancellor outlining key areas for action in support of farming sector

With input costs rising and the 2022 spring statement looming, the NFU has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to outline the key measures it says must be taken in an extremely volatile environment for the sector.

In the letter to the Rt Hon Rishi Sunak, NFU President Minette Batters provides the Chancellor with an update on the economic outlook for British agriculture given the significant challenges faced by the sector.

She has warned him about the scale of the impact the Russian war in Ukraine will have on members’ businesse, and the fragility of food security, highlighting the effect the invasion will have on our food output, our food supply chains and the availability and affordability of food to consumers.
