The letter is part of the Get Fair About Farming campaign launched by the Riverford Organic vegetable box firm.
Farming and food leaders have sent an open letter to the ‘big six’ supermarkets urging them to treat suppliers more fairly amid warnings British agriculture is “on its knees”.
“Good food ends up rotting in the field. Farmers are left without payment for their crops. And without a stable, reliable income, they are struggling to survive. The letter is part of the Get Fair About Farming campaign launched by the Riverford Organic vegetable box firm, which is calling for reform of the grocery supply code of practice to better protect farmers, and sets out ‘charter principles’ for supermarkets, urging them to “pay what you agreed to pay, buy what you committed to buy, agree on fair specifications, commit for the long term and pay on time”.
Mr Singh-Watson said there was no need for fairer conditions for farmers to mean higher prices for customers.
