WORKING IN SUPPORT OF MODERN, SUSTAINABLE, COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE

WINTER 2014

Speaking at AgriBusiness 2015, Defra UnderSecretary of State George Eustice said thatthe UK Government was fully behind AIC’scall for a risk-based approach to issues inEurope. Both he and AIC Chief ExecutiveDavid Caffall agreed that the challenge nowis to convince legislators in Brussels andStrasbourg.He said: ‘We recognise the need to retain keycrop protection products and the threat that theirremoval poses, in particular the endocrinedisrupters. We favour an approach based on risknot hazard, where products are only removed ifthey represent a genuine risk. However, we differfrom most other EU countries in this regard.’Mr Eustice said that Defra valued its partnershipwith AIC and acknowledged the Confederation’swork in a number of areas including thecontribution of the Fertiliser Industry AssuranceScheme (FIAS) to reducing concerns aboutfertiliser security. He also spoke warmly about therole of AIC’s other assurance schemes and the

fact that earnedrecognition has helped to relieve theregulatory burden on feed businesses.Mr Eustice outlined the Government’s threemain priorities:1 To grow the rural economy. He talked about developing a vibrant, successful andcompetitive industry and outlined thecontribution of the Agri-Tech strategy andCentres of Excellent as they come on stream

2 To open new markets such as China3 To make CAP simpler and cheaper

As far as CAP reform was concerned, Mr Eustice admitted that the Government hadfailed on this occasion and conceded that the new CAP regime was actually more complicated.However, he laid out a plan for ensuring that themid-term review in 2016 and the next round ofreforms in 2020 looked carefully at the greeningmeasures introduced this time around, and woulddeliver more flexibility.

Jon Duffy has beenelected Chairman of AIC,succeeding Mike Buchan.Jon has served on the

AIC Board for 11 years and formerly chaired the Arable MarketingCommittee. Jon is adirector of FrontierAgriculture.

Two honorary life memberships awardedSince AIC was formed, only five Honorarylife memberships had been awarded, thustwo awards at this year’s AGM wasexceptional.Mike Buchan (right) was awarded his upon stepping down as Chairman. Mike

had also served as Chairman of the Fertiliser Sectorand is a strong supporter of the Confederation.James Wallace (left) has been a board member since AIC’s formation with exceptional service to the seed sector, and has for the past 8 years, acted as Honorary Treasurer.

AIC was back in the European Parliament recentlyat a lunch organised by the EU trade bodyCELCAA, whose current President is AIC’s PaulRooke. Speaking before an audience that included astrong contingent of MEP’s and Parliamentaryadvisers, it was an excellent opportunity to presenta number of trade issues and discuss the ongoingtrade agreements with the US, South America andJapan, the impact of current Russian restrictions onEU exports and the rolling out the reformed CAP.The event was hosted by the German MEP, DanielCaspary of the European Peoples Party and amember of the International Trade Committee.Recognising the importance of the agriculturalindustry he noted that: “As markets become morediverse in their requirements and the sourcing ofproducts becomes more complex, the value of astrong and effective agri-trade sector is vital indelivering the requirements of both consumers andproducers.”

Soya is a major protein source used by feedmanufacturers within EU and UK and the use ofsustainable soya is becoming more of a market issue.The United States Soya Export Council (USSEC)recently funded a FEFAC mission to the US toprovide the European feed sector with marketintelligence regarding conservation issues on soyagrown in the US. The group consisted of a number of EU States and was also attended by John Kelley,Managing Director of AIC Services.One of the key messages was that within the newUS Farm Bill 2014, the US Government fund up to$4 billon into US agriculture and meet over 2500

on-farm extension offers. Much of their work is toensure that agriculture follows legal and goodagricultural practice. Commenting on this area, JohnKelley said “a highlight was that the US has numerousconservation projects within the area of soya farmingwhich are making a valuable contribution to theproduction of sustainable soya”. This work issupported by the USECC Soy SustainabilityAssurance Protocol, which will support the evolvingFEFAC Soya Sourcing Guidelines that are currentlybeing developed. FEFAC are developing these guidelines to aid themass market movement of sustainable soya into theEU at minimal cost and disruption to the soya globalsupply chains. A full report of the mission can befound on the feed sector and trade assurance area of the AIC website.

A quick look through this latestedition of AIC’s Journal showshow we are meeting themandate from our Board toextend our horizons. Ourengagement with European

bodies, our engagement on the neonicotinoid issue or our campaign to preserve cyclones in feed mills. They all demand engagements at aEuropean level.However, we never forget that we are a UK-based trade association serving a UK-basedMembership. Therefore, while this Journal willseldom focus on the many telephone and emailenquiries answered each week, nor on the constantoutput of detailed technical information sector bysector, this vital work will continue.We recognise our Members support us in returnfor the support we give them. Everyone in theSupply Industry benefits in the long-term from ourlobbying in the corridors of power. However, wealso continue to ensure we add value through theroutine, but vital work that goes on day in, day out.

FROM THE TOPAIC ‘intervenes’ in actionto protect EU innovation

At the end of October, AIC learnt that itsapplication to intervene in the EU Court casesbeing taken against the Commission decision toplace a two year moratorium on certainneonicotinoids has been granted. The decision to take this action was widelysupported across all sectors of AIC and reflectedthe concerns of Members that discriminatory actionby the Commission, unsupported by any properrisk assessment.Increasingly, the European Commission appears tobe acting against the weight of evidence and theadvice of its scientific and technical experts. Such acourse of action can only lead to continuingreductions in the capacity of research and innovationin the EU, an increasing reliance on myth andengineered hysteria and ultimately an impact on EUfood production and, thereby security. AIC willcontinue to devote its resources, in court andelsewhere, to counter this.The first oilseed rape sowing withoutneonicotinoids is over. AIC continues to gatherinformation from the industry and agronomists onthe impact of cabbage stem flea beetle. The indications so far suggest that while parts of the UK have seen significant damage, other areashave seen little visual impact. Evidence is mounting,however, to support the pre-season expectation of increased foliar pyrethroid applications to givethe crop a degree of protection. David Caffall Chief Executive, AIC

Various pieces of legislation, often drawn upwithout consideration of wider consequences,threaten the availability and use of plant protection products.To assess what the cumulative impact might be, AIC, the Crop Protection Association andNFU commissioned The Andersons Centre to examine the effect of the loss of plantprotection products on UK agriculture and horticulture and the wider economy.In the report, launched to industrystakeholders on 21 October at London’sScience Museum, Richard King of Andersons,highlighted that 40 active substances werehighly likely to be lost or restricted in the UK. These were due to: the EUapproval process for plant

protection products; requirements of the WaterFramework Directive (WFD); and restrictions on neonicotinoid seed treatments use.

The overall impact would be reduced yields andquality leading to rotational changes that could seethe loss of some iconic British foods such as frozenpeas, apples and fresh carrots.Andersons predict that total income from farmingwould drop by 36% and impacts along the foodchain could result in up to 40,000 job losses. Food prices could be likely to increase andresearch and development expertise wouldincreasing migrate outside of the UK.David Hutchinson, responding to the findings for AIC, said that it was important to note thatonce R&D expertise was lost from the UK and theimpacts predicted by the report started to occur, it would be very difficult and take many years toreverse the harm done. The report was launched to UK MPs and Peers on 26 November. In addition a launch toMEPs and European stakeholder organisations isplanned for early 2015.

New report highlights potential costs of losing pesticides


Causes for celebration… and concernAIC Chief Executive David Caffall gave a ‘state ofthe industry’ review of the causes for celebrationand concern. He highlighted ‘Food for Thought’ as ahuge advance in lobbying through 11 Europeantrade associations combining on cross-sector issues.Like George Eustice, David acknowledged the roleof AIC’s assurance schemes in ensuring thatregulatory needs are met pragmatically. By achieving‘earned recognition’ for UFAS, FEMAS and TASCC,the industry will save around £2m a year.Other causes for celebration included the decisionthat the ‘fertiliser bible’ – RB209 – will be ownedand revised by AHDB with AIC input; the foundingof the new AIC Affilliate - UK Former FoodstuffProcessors Association (UKFFPA); and thecontinuing success of the Feed Adviser Register.David also highlighted further challenges such asthe threat to cyclones in feed mills and the fight toretain key crop protection products.He finished with a preview of a wider projectlooking at the impact of single-issue policy makingacross all sectors agriculture. More will be revealedat the Oxford Farming Conference in January.

Industry needs government help to encourage investmentNFU President Meurig Raymond acknowledgedhis organisation’s excellent relationship with AIC,and that the agri-supply industry is a trustedpartner. While prospects are bright looking forward,farmers and their advisers are working in

increasingly volatile markets which is likely tocontinue for the next decade.The industry needs to invest in infrastructure,buildings and reservoirs to grow the local economy, but it is difficult with current uncertainty.Mr Raymond pointed out that UK competitors will not stand still and Ireland already has its 2020 plan.Meurig said: “Government has a big role to play.We would like to see serious consideration given toan infrastructure allowance.to overcome the barrierto UK investment. “I would also call on the Chancellor to retain anannual investment allowance for machinery becausethis is a capital hungry sector and I want ourfarmers to plan for the long-term.”While he recognised that fiscal policy is not inDefra’s gift, he said that the importance of foodproduction and agriculture is not a task for Defraalone. He called on the department to championfarming across the whole of the UK Government.

AHDB – a ‘world-class centre for agriculture’AHDB Chairman Peter Kendall continued thetheme of ongoing volatility. He used the conferenceto set out his agenda to complete the journey toAHDB becoming one organisation and establishingitself as a world-class centre of agriculture.“I know that talking about long term ambition andfarmers’ potential to seize market opportunitiesdoes not sit comfortably with sectors in the grip oflow prices – such as those cereals and dairy are

Give us the toolsto do the job

‘We can deliver sustainability, but we need the tools to do the job’, this was the message of speaker after speaker at Agribusiness 2015, the theme of which was ‘Growing thesustainable agrisupply chain’. The right inputs, more information, precision farming toolsand investment were all identified as key components in a future strategy for sustainability.

experiencing now,” he said.“The truth is, global market volatility is here tostay in the same way as the vagaries of the weatherare. But we’ve got to keep looking at the bigger,long term picture – at the opportunities providedby growing markets at home and overseas. Let’sdare to ask how we can better compete for ashare of these markets.” He added: “AHDB has a long term ambition forits levy payers and UK agriculture.We want toprovide levy payers with the right tools to becomethe most efficient and sustainable businesses theycan be. Let’s aim to be the envy of other countriesand not be satisfied with sitting back and lettingthem take the lead. “I want to work with the industry to ensureAHDB becomes that world-leading centre ofexcellence for UK agriculture working across thesupply chain.

Farmers can capture value from the precision farming revolutionSuzanne Pera, a Farm Inputs Analyst withRabobank International, described how she hadcome fresh into the industry and had askedquestions how it operated. “Margins are under pressure globally and this hasbeen the stimulus for further innovations,” she said,“What we are seeing is a shift from a ‘yield driven’industry to one that is ‘input driven’. This will befacilitated by precision farming, but the farmerexpertise will remain paramount.”Ms Pera said that precision farming is alreadyhere, although there is no ‘one size that fits all’.“Systems will need to be tailor made for eachregion,” she said, “however, with more integratedsystems we could see a global reduction in fertiliseruse. There will be a butterfly effect with smallchanges in one part of the chain leading to largesaving elsewhere.”Suzanne said that ‘data is king’ and there will becompetition for the value delivered by this data.She said: “Farmers will be crucial and I believe weshould not discount the possibility of farmerscapturing part of this value for themselves. Nomatter what the size of the farm, I think that theywill benefit from this new technology.”

Delivering feed sector sustainabilityRuud Tijssens, Director of R&D and CSR atAgrifirm and President of FEFAC spoke about thechallenges of delivering sustainability in the feedsector He highlighted ‘hot topics’ such as jobs andgrowth, market access, public and animal health,feed safety, and feed labelling. On market access he discussed GM problemsand cited an example where a year-long disruptionof US supplies cost an estimated €5bn. While the industry is trying to deliver asustainability, Ruud said that all the climate changeindicators were going in the wrong direction, whilethere was unprecedented land scarcity. “Feed is an industry where you can grow every

year, but the EU is lagging behind the rest of theworld,” he said, “There are increasing tensions foragricultural activities in densely populated areas andthere is long list of controversial subjects includinganimal welfare, GM, pesticides, and emissions.“The debate is fuelled by single issue NGOs, andan unease with modern livestock methods. There isa tension between increased production,environmental impact, and scarce raw materials.”He said that there were three key areas whichneeded to be addressed to solve this problem:innovation, securing supply chains andculture/ethics. Rudd outlined innovations that canreduce feed requirements in the pigmeat and dairyindustries. Finally Ruud tackled the tough area of ethics. “Is it explainable? If it isn’t something that you canexplain to your wife and children, then you need to start changing it!” he said.

Cool Tool for farmersRichard Heathcote is the General Manager ofthe Cool Farm Alliance. The Alliance is an industry-owned consortium with partners, members andsupporters drawn from industry, academia, not-for-profit organisations and consultants. These includemany household names like Unilever, Heineken,Marks and Spencer McCain, Pepsico and Tesco.Its mission is to enable millions of growersglobally to make more informed on-farm decisionsthat reduce their environmental impact. Focusingon greenhouse gases in the first phase, the Allianceprovides the Cool Farm Tool as a credible andquantified decision-making tool.Richard said growers needed to be able tomeasure in order to manage. Hence the Alliance is developing an online tool that will work fordifferent crops in different regions.To date it has been used for more than 10,000assessments across 33 countries and 28 crops.Future developments will include new metricssuch as water and biodiversity, better decisionsupport including financials, supply chain reporting,and ‘app’ functionality for mobile phones. Moreinformation on the CoolAlliance and the CoolFarm Tool can be found at www.coolfarmtool.org.

‘Members really benefitted fromnetworking and hearing informationvital for their business,’ saidAgribusiness organiser John Kelleypictured here with Farming Todaypresenter Sybil Ruscoe who chairedthe event.

The short to mid-term shortage of drivers is aconcern, not just for AIC members, it has even hitthe national media with concerns about toydeliveries for Christmas and AIC raised the issuenationally at its Annual Fertiliser Dinner. However, while there are short term concernswith the Christmas period, the medium termpresents a greater threat with more drivers leavingand fewer joining the industry. With that in mind,AIC will be liaising with the Department forTransport, the Road Haulage Association and the

Freight Trade Association over the next few monthsto try and rectify this issue.In the meantime, it is advised that Members thinkbroadly and proactively on how they can tackle thisby, for example: identifying if some members of staffalready possess the correct licence; organisingagency drivers; working with haulage suppliers;changing delivery schedules; implementing drivershifts and communicating with customers todelay/implement early deliveries.

The feed sector is starting a two year process toprove that cyclones are fit to be prescribed as BestAvailable Techniques (BAT) for dust removal in therevised EU documents that will implement theIndustrial Emissions Directive. We are hopeful that dust profile data beingcollected from feedmills will provide the evidenceneeded by the UK delegation to make its case toEU Consultants in Seville. Thus far, AIC has analysed total emissions fromfeedmills with cyclones and total emissions with bagfilters and has found the results to be insignificantlydifferent.Whilst this is encouraging, the detail of theproportion of the total classified as ‘fine’ is key andwe must be able to present a truly representativesample from the sector. So far, Members’ response has been very good.

Many have gone the extra mile with additional teststo provide data. More reports are due, whichshould mean that the analysis will be robust. But we cannot leave anything to chance. So if you areemployed by a feed company please contact JaneSalter, AIC to find out how you can help. The issue is a serious one. If cyclones are notconsidered to be BAT, costs of conversion todifferent techniques would be in the region of£110,000 for every line in every feed mill. So far, noother member state officials have raised this issuebut several EU members of FEFAC – the Europeanbody for feed compounding, are as concerned asAIC to have a separate sub sector of the BREFdocuments for animal feeds and to have thecontinued use of cyclones affirmed.

Fighting to save £110,000on every feed line in Britain

September saw the Commission release itsproposal for regulating medicated feed and revisingcontrols on veterinary medicines. Since then AIChas been actively involved at UK and EU level onassessing the implications for the industry. Over the past few years, the EU Commission hasbeen updating all the European food and feedregulations and medicated feeds is the latest step. AIC has been actively involved in evaluating theimplications of this proposal for the industry. Acomprehensive set of comments, drawn up by AIC’s Legal Affairs and Scientific Committee hasbeen made available to all feed members. It hasbeen circulated to UK officials in the VeterinaryMedicines Directorate (VMD) and FSA along withthe veterinary, animal health, and livestock sectors.In December, VMD is holding a workshop, for all interested organisations, to discuss the proposeddraft EU Regulation. AIC will be represented at this meeting.

Parallel to these discussions, the threat ofantimicrobial resistance (AMR) to both humans and animals is a major concern. AMR is a seriouspotential threat to both animal health and livestockproductivity internationally. The UK Government iscommitted to action to minimise the developmentand transmission of resistance. Organisations across the veterinary, animal health, and livestockproduction sectors are taking this issue seriously. Arange of initiatives have been developed to addressfactors that influence development and spread ofAMR and to encourage the responsible use ofveterinary antimicrobials. AIC engages in theseactivities through its membership of the ResponsibleUse of Medicines in Agriculture Alliance. AIC was also represented at the AMR Summitheld in November co-hosted by Professor the LordTrees of the Ross, Member of The House of Lords;Nigel Gibbens, UK Chief Veterinary Officer ; andProfessor Peter Borriello, CEO, VMD.

Strong AIC input on new medicated feeds rules


The new EU Fertiliser regulations are still expectedto go, as a draft, to the European Parliament by theend of 2014 with final decisions being left toMember States and the European Parliament. The new regulations have been subject to intenselobbying over the summer recess with a torrent ofsubmissions to the Commission. Views appeardivided between those wanting ‘Strict regulation’,supported by Germany and France, prescribing whatcan be classified as a fertiliser and those seeking

‘relaxed regulation’where only safety issuesare regulated andconsumer protectionregulation applies. Thelatter is favoured by theCommission andsupported by the UK, A negative list wouldbe maintained ofprohibited substancesand limits ofcontaminants.

Key issues affectingfertilisers remainunresolved: Perchlorates –deemed a chronic riskto nursing mothers andchildren. European Food

Safety Authority will continue to review foodsamples and consider if there is a need for apermanent limit in food probably end of 2015.Subsequent action may set limits for certainfertiliser types (possibly glass house andhydroponics) if there is deemed to be a continuing problem.Cadmium – AIC conversations with the UK Food Standards Agency suggest that the impetusfor regulating cadmium due to member stateconcern over high levels in Italian durum wheat and Irish potatoes. SCHER is still peer reviewing theSmolders 80mg/kg proposal however, and it is stillhoped that no far reaching low limits will be set for what appears to be a localised problem. TheFertiliser Regulation chairman has however statedthat ‘de-cadmiation is technically feasible’.Boron – an EU concern exists about a sterility riskfrom chemical exposure. Boric acid and tetraborateforms are particularly at risk, other forms appear tohave been missed so far, but will undoubtedly benext (it’s simply an oversight by the regulators). AICis mounting a strong defence for this essential plantnutrient, with a low user exposure if properlyhandled. We believe and maintain this is a matterfor PPE and occupational hygiene rather than heavy regulation.AIC is maintaining close contact with Defra andFSA on all matters and working with FertilizersEurope on managing the process and attempting to mitigate the impacts.

Campaign continues for ‘relaxed’ fertiliser regulation

AIC fertiliser committees have welcomed thechanges being made to unite the two parts of the FACTS Scheme – the professional element with Continuing Professional Development (CPD)and the Information Service. This will mean that any crop nutrition adviser claiming the title ofFACTS Qualified Adviser will have completed coretraining requirements and be kept abreast of alltechnical and policy developments, by a tailor-madeadviser information service and newsletters.The introduction of Nutrient ManagementPlanning (NMP) training modules in 2009 changedthe expected level of competence and knowledgeof FACTS Qualified Advisers. From 2015, it will nolonger be considered sufficient to rest on theformer FACTS qualifications alone when offeringfarmers’ advice. Crop nutrition issues today are far more complex than in the early 90’s andadditional NMP training is now a fundamental

part of CPD for FQAs.It is the CPD element which now clearlyseparates those offering up-to-date advice fromthose such as, farmers and associates who have the FACTS qualification and subscribe to theFACTS information service but do not give advice professionally. In future, this category ofFACTS membership will be known as FACTSSubscribers who will not be able to offer thirdparty advice. All individuals affected have received details of how the new system will be introduced andstructured. Governments and their agencies arebeing informed of the benefits, from theirperspective, as they review how the industry’s Value of Advice actively contributes to meetingtargets for water and air quality within a viableagricultural economy.

The European Seed Association (ESA), ofwhich AIC is a member, launched a visiondocument to communicate plant breedingand seed industry developments to a wider,non-agricultural audience. Launched at ESA’s annual meeting, thedocument rightly draws attention to a strong and successful seed sector being a vital cornerstone for the agriculturalindustry’s ability to deliver the sustainableintensification which consumers will demandover the next generation.The document draws attention tochallenges which the industry has faced

and successfully delivered. It poses thequestion, however, as to whether there will be the opportunity or the freedom for those successes to be repeated in future within Europe. The document can therefore perhaps besummed up in a single sentence – will EUseed breeders be allowed to deliversolutions to give tomorrow’s consumer both what they will want, and what they will expect?

Nick Major, Chair of the AIC Feed SectorSustainability Committeeand John Kelley, ManagingDirector of AIC Serviceswere recently invited to

speak at the Advisory Committee on AnimalFeedingstuffs (ACAF). This group consists ofgovernment and industry specialists thatinput into the Government’s policy on feed issues. Nick covered the work of that AIC andFEFAC are covering regarding sustainabilityprojects that the feed sector is currently

undertaking. Areas covered includedenvironmental foot printing, the use ofnatural resources, sustainable procurementetc. ACAF valued this input and would liketo revisit these issues in the near future.John updated the group on the FeedAdviser Register (FAR) and ACAF isextremely supportive of this initiative.Questions were asked about entry criteriaand the professional code of practice.

January 2015 will see the latest UK ex-farmrapeseed contract jointlyissued by AIC and FOSFA. For many years, AIC hasbeen associated with theinternational contracts

and arbitral body for oilseeds, FOSFA, which is London based with membership across over 80 countries. The UK ex-farm rapeseedcontract, the 26A, has been updated in anumber of areas, including requirements for glucosinolates. This follows a revision inwhich Philip Noyce, Chairman of the AICContracts Committee has played a central

role sitting on Committees in bothassociations.At the same time it has been confirmed that the UK linseed contract, the 9A, will also be re-issued, for the first time as a joint FOSFA/AIC contract.Both organisations have welcomed thisproductive period of co-operation whichthey intend to maintain into the future as part of the process to meeting thecontractual requirements of the oilseedsector.
