Monthly farming and food brief – February 2013
Headlines this month include:
International commodity markets remain stable.
Emerging anecdotal evidence suggests increased demand for British meat following horse meat contamination.
Food price inflation continues to rise.
Defra research released this month on the economic performance of dairy farms finds a high level of variation in efficiencies across farms.
Defra has also published detailed evidence to support the Campaign for the Farmed Environment. Whilst not all of the formal targets have been met, there is good evidence of the positive impact of the Campaign.
