New UK Scheme Aims Mandatory Fruit Grading and Market Oversight
The United Kingdom considers a compulsory grading system for fruit and registers growers with large orchards. The plan, endorsed by the Seana Farmers Union of the UK, would appoint market agents to advise on prices and grading, regulate exports, and study import controls. Funds would come from a fruit acreage levy, with emphasis on tariff or quota studies and voluntary controls for empire producers. New planting remains unrestricted amid recent bumper crops and higher sales pressures.
