Food Supply Chain

NFU Scotland continues to work across the food supply chain to ensure that policies are in place which deliver transparency and market conditions which favour Scottish producers.

The NFU Scotland Supply Chain Working Group focus on a number of key areas which are relevant to food and farming in Scotland, these are:

• Food labelling
• Market transparency
• Public procurement
• Food safety and diet messaging
  

NFU Scotland has also carried out a number of shelf watch activities, looking to see which supermarkets are the best at supporting domestic production. Recent shelf watch results can be found here:

Pork, ham and bacon

Beef

Lamb
