Supporting small producers

Small producers will be able to access a range of new support through a new government pilot to help them become more sustainable.

The Small Producers Pilot Fund has been allocated over £180,000 which will be used to assist small producers and crofters to establish more localized supply chains and cut food miles.

The funding will be used to:

  • support two small-scale abbatoir projects
  • establish a new information resource webpage for small producers
  • develop a framework to assess small producers data
  • procure a service to deliver training courses for small producers
