Farming Profitability Review

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will commit to publishing Minette Batters’ farming profitability review in full.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Defra has worked with Baroness Minette Batters on a Farming Profitability Review to help farm businesses grow and contribute to the economy. The department is grateful for her hard work to finalise this review and Defra is carefully looking at the 57 recommendations. The Farming Profitability Review (FPR) will be published in December, ahead of Christmas.

This review will feed into Defra’s wider work on the Farming Roadmap and the Land Use Framework, both due next year. Together, these will set out the Government’s long-term vision for agriculture and provide farmers with the certainty they need to plan for the future.
