AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Animal Health: Bird flu has been confirmed at a commercial poultry farm near Belford, Northumberland. Around 29,000 birds are due to be culled, with protection and surveillance zones in place. Bluetongue cases have risen to 48, while rare-breed farmers warn they still struggle to access vaccines. Farm Technology: Northern Ireland growers can apply for grants to adopt new technology, and a Defra-funded study finds farmers interested in gene-edited crops as options for managing pests and disease narrow. Food Supply: Fresh produce businesses warn new import costs could add £300m to the sector’s burden, renewing concerns about food security and pressure on growers. Farm Finances: Farmers are urging the Chancellor to scrap planned family-farm inheritance tax changes, with industry groups warning the policy threatens the future of family businesses.
