RABDF submits an inquiry to the EFRA committee

Following its research into the labour situation on more than 1000 British dairy farms, carried out by yours truly Ian Potter Marketing Services, the RABDF has made a submission to the EFRA Committee (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee).

From the survey 17% of dairy units have foreign workers as part of their workforce and the evidence points to a “potential cliff edge labour shortage facing dairy farms” in the post Brexit world.  The survey was carried out in conjunction with Kite Consulting who’s founder, John Allen, commented that the supply of skilled dedicated foreign workers is critical to the success and long term prosperity to the British dairy sector.
