The report cited by the honourable member proposes a system of untargeted farming subsidy based on regular and unconditional cash payments made to farmers. Evidence suggests that untargeted subsidies such as the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) and delinked payments offered poor value for money and introduced distortionary incentives, which inhibited the development of a productive and competitive agricultural sector that delivers optimal environmental outcomes. This is Government is proud to have ended the subsidy model in farming.
Looking forward, this Government’s vision for farming depends on a farming sector where farmers make a fair profit from producing food, and where farm businesses can diversify their income to remain viable in challenging times. To this end, the government has confirmed it will set up a new Farming Profitability Unit within Defra. This will work with farmers and other industry stakeholders from across all sectors and regions to understand the barriers farmers face to increasing profits through farming. It will examine how farmers can embrace innovation, improve productivity and market access, how the supply chain can support a more profitable farming sector through greater transparency, collaboration and a fairer distribution of risk, rewards and responsibility.
The Government is also supporting farmers to grow their businesses by extending the Seasonal Worker visa route for five more years. This will give farms a pipeline of workers. Annual quota reviews will ensure we strike the right balance – supporting farms while gradually reducing visa numbers as we develop alternative solutions.
