Farmers Guardian podcast: AHDB levy rises

AHDB have announced plans to increase levy rates from April 2024 across all four of its sectors.

The prices, many of which have remained unchanged for more than a decade, could be introduced from April 2024 and will see cattle producers paying £5.06/head of cattle; a slaughterer/exporter being charged £1.69, up from £1.35/head of cattle.

Watch the video on Farmers Guardian's YouTube channel.

Sheep producers will see an increase of 15 per head while, pig producers will see a rise from £0.85 to £1.02 - a price that has been in place since 1996. Cereal growers can expect to pay 58.00p/tonne as opposed to 46p/t. For OSR, the rate moves to 94p/tonne.
