Independent review of combinable crops assurance

An independent review of assurance in the combinable crops supply chain is to be commissioned by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) Cereals and Oilseeds Sector Council.

The decision followed a meeting on Monday ( October 16) involving both Red Tractor and the British Farming Union (BFU).

Levy payers

AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds sector chair, Tom Clarke said the review would provide answers to the questions being raised by the BFU and other levy payers.

He said: "As a first step, AHDB will commission independent experts to undertake a thorough examination to provide transparency and clarity of the quality, traceability, testing requirements and process for grain to enter all end-markets, outside of the existing UK assurance schemes.

"Some time will now be taken to ensure a thorough and effective review takes place, with the findings expected to be shared with the industry by spring 2024."
