At the height of Wimbledon, Nicholas Marston spoke with BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme about some of the issues facing the berry industry.   One concern is the discrepancy between production costs and the prices paid by retailers. Labour costs, which constitute about 50% of strawberry production costs and 65% for raspberries, have significantly increased and while branded commodities have seen price increases due to food price inflation, fresh produce hasn't received necessary adjustments, despite a 30% rise in production costs.   The UK is nearly completely self-sufficient in strawberry production and if retailers turn to continental Europe for supply, they will face higher costs and insufficient volumes to meet demand. This is a significant wake up call to retailers to compensate producers fairly when current prices often don't even cover the costs of production. Right now, when picking robots are still in their infancy, manual labour is the only viable way to pick soft fruits and ensuring fair compensation for all is crucial for the future of the industry.   #Agriculture #BritishBerryGrowers #Retail #FoodIndustry #Sustainability

Big news! AgCold is expanding with the acquisition of a three-section, 72,000-square-foot warehouse complex, boosting our capacity to meet the growing demand for cold storage among Virginia’s thriving food, beverage, pharma, and agriculture industries. With this expansion, we’re not only meeting current demand but also investing in our infrastructure in Suffolk for future growth and innovation! “It boils down to the fact that cold storage today as it exists is less of a real estate sector than one might think and more of a critical infrastructure need in our country,” he said. “The pandemic stretched supply chains to the brink and what we saw is that with the reshoring that we’re doing with the domestic pharma supply coming back home and food safety being paramount to national security, all of those trends have a necessity at their very core… and that necessity is cold storage.” -Yogi Singh https://lnkd.in/erHm9zS4 Richmond BizSense #agcold #storagesolutions #coldstorage #virginiacoldstorage #suffolkva #expansion #richmondbizsense

Did you know we’re the fourth-largest retailer in the fresh pork category with an 11% market share? This is why we’re ‘going the whole hog’ and investing half a billion pounds into the pork industry to ensure the continued production of high-quality British produce at the best possible prices for customers. 💰   As we double down on our support for British suppliers, we’re moving pork producers to an open-book costing model that includes on-farm cost of production, guarantees minimum volumes and fixed margins for farmers. This change was developed in collaboration with those in our newly created ‘Lidl Pork Producer Group’, as we recognised the need for a more sustainable pricing model within the pork sector for suppliers and farmers. 👨🌾   We’re not stopping there... We’re also investing in assessing the carbon footprint 👣 of all the farms in our new ‘Lidl Pork Producer Group’, subsequently putting plans in place to reduce these emissions. This comes alongside investing over £250,000 in at-risk GB catchments to support river health and water quality, while working to achieve deforestation-free soy sourcing by the end of 2025. 🌲   Richard Bourns, our Chief Commercial Officer, said: “This investment underscores our commitment to British producers, animal welfare and the environment. Our pork market share is nearly double that of our broader market share and highlights the influence we have. We’re embracing our responsibility to drive positive change.”   #Investment #Farming #Environment #Retail
