Benefits of being a Red Tractor licensee
As a whole supply chain assurance scheme, only products that have been farmed, transported, processed and packed in the UK – meeting our rigorous standards – can claim to be Red Tractor assured or carry our logos.
Our licensing scheme licenses qualifying businesses to source and supply products with the Red Tractor claim or logo.
Benefits of being a Red Tractor licensee
From local entrepreneurial businesses to the largest and most iconic British household brands, already many recognise the benefits of partnering with Red Tractor as a licensee.
Access to market
A Red Tractor licence opens up business opportunities. All major UK retailers use Red Tractor standards as part of their British food buying specification or Codes of Practice. Some of the UK’s most iconic brands, largest restaurant chains, food service wholesalers, contract caterers and managed pub chains also specify and source Red Tractor product.
Reassurance for all
When a Red Tractor claim is made, businesses, customers and consumers can trust that the product is British, traceable and farmed with care. Our logos mean more than the Union Flag alone.
