It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Mark. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Sittingbourne and Sheppey (Gordon Henderson) for securing this important debate. Food contributes £30 billion to our economy and employs over 4 million people. The Government want to support farmers and rural communities through new farming schemes, reinvesting £2.4 billion per year into the sector. We are supporting farmers by paying direct payments in two instalments, with the next one due in July, and providing assistance through energy bills discount scheme and visas for seasonal workers. The Government have launched investigations into dairy and pork sectors to ensure fair contracts and will look at horticulture and egg sectors next. The Prime Minister has published a food strategy focusing on secure food supply, good-quality jobs, and growing the economy through the agrifood sector. We will keep the Groceries Code Adjudicator as a separate authority. New powers introduced through the Agriculture Act 2020 support the sector, and precision breeding is being championed with the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023. Future horticulture support will replace EU fruit and vegetable producer organisation scheme in 2026 with an expanded offer including controlled environment horticulture.
