It is difficult for our farmers to compete with imports from countries where production standards – and therefore costs - are lower. As we continue the process of trade liberalisation, competition will intensify, and it is the job of Government to ensure that our farmers can prosper in truly open markets. More >
Conservatives recognise that if we want our farmers to succeed in an open market we cannot continue to saddle the industry with an extra burden of cost relative to their competitors. More >
Without further reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) our farmers will be disadvantaged and the poorest countries will continue to be shut out of one of the largest and richest markets in the world. More >
