Farmers facing 'a cliff edge' as NFU urges Chancellor to prioritise food production in Budget
The National Farmers Union has called for greater support for domestic food production as energy, fuel and other production costs continue to soar.
And NFU President Minette Batters has warned Chancellor Jeremy Hunt that farmers are facing a 'cliff edge' if action isn't taken.
The letter reinforced the need to extend the Energy and Trade Intensive Industries (ETII) scheme to include energy intensive sectors such as horticultural and poultry production.
