About AHDB

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board became operational on 1 April 2008. It is a statutory levy-funded organisation with the duty to help improve the efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture and horticulture sectors in the UK – meat and livestock (cattle, sheep and pigs) in England; commercial horticulture, milk and potatoes in Great Britain; cereals and oilseeds in the UK. Levies raised from each sector can only be used to the benefit of that sector, and the responsibility for setting and overseeing delivery of the strategies to deploy the levy income is delegated to the boards of its six sector divisions: BPEX, DairyCo, EBLEX, Horticultural Development Company, HGCA and the Potato Council.
