    Goals / Remit

    The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is a UK Non-departmental Public Body funded by a statutory levy paid by UK farmers, growers and others in the supply chain and managed as an independent organisation (independent of both commercial industry and of Government).
    AHDB’s purpose is to equip levy payers with independent, evidence-based information and tools to grow and become more competitive and sustainable. AHDB supports six sectors covering about 75% of total agricultural output in the UK: commercial horticulture, potatoes, cereals and oilseeds, milk, pig meat, beef and lamb.
    The services delivered by AHDB include farm-level knowledge transfer programmes, market information, export market development work and domestic marketing activity.

  • Meetings

    Meetings

    1 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
