Why it matters that the whole supply chain is onboard

Red Tractor isn’t just about farms, it covers the whole supply chain, from farm to pack. That means processors, packers and food businesses making a Red Tractor claim must be licensed by us and meet our requirements.

For Red Tractor assured farmers, this gives confidence because:

• It helps ensure your produce remains traceable and correctly identified as Red Tractor assured throughout the supply chain
• It offers clarity and reassurance for food businesses: only Red Tractor licensees are approved to sell product as Red Tractor assured.
• It can open doors to more markets.
• It supports sourcing requirements from domestic and international customers.

With everyone in the chain onboard, Red Tractor strengthens traceability, protects the identity of your produce and supports access to markets.

It’s more than a piece of paper, it’s proof of your professionalism and peace of mind that your farm is responsible, compliant and trusted.

With Red Tractor, you can focus on what you do best: farming, knowing we’re working alongside you to protect your reputation and champion British agriculture.
