Our role is to help improve the efficiency and competitiveness of various agriculture and horticulture sectors within the UK.

Our statutory functions encompass meat and livestock (cattle, sheep and pigs) in England; horticulture, milk and potatoes in Great Britain; cereals and oilseeds in the UK.

The responsibility for setting and delivering strategies to deploy AHDB levy income is delegated to the executive boards of our six sector organisations.
