Written Question
Horticulture
Thursday 12th March 2015

Asked by: Tony Baldry (Conservative - Banbury)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to promote British horticulture.

Answered by Elizabeth Truss

There’s huge potential in British Horticulture.

We’re seeing exciting innovation. For example the strawberries season has been extended to 9 months of the year and due to new growing technologies we’ve seen the highest crop of cherries ever.

Two weeks ago I held a roundtable with leading figures in the sector to discuss what more we can do to help them grow.
