Pigs: Livestock Industry
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the Government response to the consultation entitled Contractual practice in the UK pig sector, published on 6 April 2023, whether it is his policy to implement the next steps set out in that Government response.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
We will deliver a resilient and healthy food system, with a new deal that ensures fairness for farmers. We recognise that fairness in the supply chain is critical for farmers across all sectors. We want all farmers to get a fair price for their products and are committed to tackle contractual unfairness where it exists.
We will continue the work closely with the pig sector, and all farming sectors, on the best way to achieve this.
