AIC Members across the agricultural supply chain are reacting to and making preparations for the rapid spread of coronavirus and the resulting impact it will have on the UK's availability of food and feed. Our top priority is to comply with Government rules to delay the spread of disease, while at the same time ensuring that feed and food supplies continue uninterrupted.
"Our part in the supply chain often goes unseen but is nevertheless a critical part of the process. During this difficult time, our Member employees will all have a role to play, from mill works and lorry drivers to lab technicians and agronomists. We must work together to maintain continued supplies of inputs, astute advice to farms, collection of produce from farms, and onward delivery to a range of processing destinations.

It is important at this time to appreciate that flexibility may be required in order to ensure that businesses receive what they need when they need it.
