The Agri-Food Regulator is developing its Strategy Statement for the next three-year cycle (2027-2029) and is seeking your perspective on the Regulator’s strengths, limitations and future priorities.

The landscape in which the Regulator operates is evolving, including the power to compel price and market data from 31 December 2026 for the purpose of improving transparency, and discussions at EU level to strengthen the protections available under the Unfair Trading Regulations for smaller suppliers in the agri-food supply chain. 

Whether you are a primary producer, a processor, a retailer, or a policy-maker, we invite you to complete a confidential survey to inform the future vision for the Regulator.

All responses are strictly confidential and will be aggregated by Dr Monica Gorman who is acting as an independent facilitator for the strategic planning process.
