Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB)

AHDB is a statutory levy board, funded by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain. Its purpose is to equip levy payers with independent, evidence-based information and tools to grow, become more competitive and sustainable. Established in 2008 and classified as a Non-Departmental Public Body, it supports the following industries: meat and livestock (cattle, sheep and pigs) in England; horticulture, milk and potatoes in Great Britain; and cereals and oilseeds in the UK. AHDB’s remit covers 75 per cent of total UK agricultural output.  

Stephen Farmer of AHDB Pork said: “The best pies and sausages are made using the finest English pork which is why AHDB Pork has supported many national, regional and local butchery competitions.  By helping to champion innovation through competitions like the Great Hampshire Sausage and Pie Competition, we can support our farmers by raising the public’s awareness of the amazing and delicious produce available down our local high streets. We wish all the entrants the very best of luck!”
