Why join Red Tractor
One assurance accreditation, one fee, one inspection, opens the door to supply UK farming’s biggest customers.
Britain is home to 150,000 farmers, and with 75% of UK agriculture assured by Red Tractor, no other food and farming scheme comes close to this scale of membership.
Joining Red Tractor is an opportunity to grow your business, build your reputation, and cut down on paperwork and costs.
Consider three crucial things:
UK consumers trust 75% of all UK shoppers are aware of the logo. Almost 70% are positively influenced by the logo. And almost half would trade up to a Red Tractor product if they saw the logo.
Access to market Most UK retailers require Red Tractor on the products they sell. Around £15bn worth of UK food and drink sold in the UK carries our logo. We are endorsed by the UK’s biggest food brands. Being Red Tractor assured also means you can supply different retailers without lots of different requirements.
Value Instead of being inspected by the Environment Agency, Food Standards Agency and the Rural Payments Agency, you just get assessed once. That saves times and avoids duplication.
There are real and major economic benefits. Put simply being a Red Tractor member pays off.
