Food and farming sector makes post-Brexit demandsThe food and farming industry wants assurances from the government that it will still be able to recruit enough staff from the EU after Brexit. A government spokesperson said those in the sector would be able to recruit EU citizens until December 2020. Those in the farming industry have previously raised concerns about the impact of leaving the European Union on agricultural labour, which is often short-term, flexible and seasonal. The Food Supply Chain manifesto was sent to Prime Minister Theresa May by the National Farmers' Union president Minette Batters. "We are determined to get the best deal for the UK in our EU negotiations, not least for our world-leading food and farming industry which is a key part of our economic success."
