Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what measures are in place to protect the resilience of agricultural supply chains against sudden fertilizer and chemical import shocks.

The Government is strengthening agricultural supply-chain resilience through diversified sourcing, domestic production and improved market monitoring. It has also reduced tariffs on certain fertilisers and is modernising the fertiliser regulatory framework. Defra continues to work with industry and across government to identify emerging risks and vulnerabilities and support preparedness.
