Robert Sheasby

Chief Executive of Agricultural Industries Confederation

[AIC | Agricultural Industries Confederation @agindustriesUK]

“It is very disappointing that, after lengthy representations to the Government alongside other industry associations, a solution has not been found for the UK bioethanol sector... AIC Members who purchase wheat from farmers will now need to find new markets for displaced grain, which represents approximately 7% of this year’s projected wheat harvest.” - @RobertSheasby, Chief Executive, Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC).

The AIC has published a statement in response to the Government’s decision not to support the UK bioethanol sector following the US-UK Trade Agreement in May.

Really excited to be here in San Francisco as a guest of @USSEC for their major annual conference on soya. Everyday is learning and soya is such a key part of UK monastic sectors

Since the EU Exit, agri-supply chains have seen many trade disruptions. While businesses have adapted as best they can, the status quo of increased complexity, delays & costs isn't sustainable.

Here's what we ask of the next UK Government 👇

"Careers in the Animal Feed Supply Chain" was created by AIC's Feed Future Forum of younger Members in agri-supply trade.

It equips the next generation with key knowledge and understanding of careers in the UK's livestock feed industry.
