Manifesto sets out food supply chain asks ahead of 2024 General Election
- AIC’s manifesto outlines three key asks of the next UK Government
In readiness for a General Election, the Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) has launched its manifesto outlining three key asks of the next UK Government on behalf of the agri-food supply chain.
AIC – the agri-supply trade association – represents 230 businesses in the animal feed, crop protection and agronomy, fertiliser, grain trading and seed sectors within the supply chains that feed the nation.
These businesses supply UK farmers and growers with the products, trusted advice and quality services that are essential to producing food, as well as trading crops and commodities across the globe.
AIC is asking the next UK Government to:
Deliver on the “Powering Productivity for Sustainable UK Food Security” report recommendation of an independent UK Food Security Committee, a move which has gathered widespread support from farming unions, politicians and academics since the report’s launch at AIC Conference in November 2023.
Improve trade by addressing policy divergence between the UK and EU, as well as within the UK home nations.
Standardise sustainability metrics, ensuring that UK agriculture is not disadvantaged
These core asks have been developed following consultation with AIC’s Members and Committees over the past year.
