Farming Subsidy Free in N.Z - Could the U.K do it?

Farm Gate

Available for over a year

New Zealand enjoys a reputation for being one of the top exporters of agricultural produce in the world. And their farmers do this without receiving a penny from farm subsidies or being a member of a union of countries like the single market. U.K farm subsidy payments have been guaranteed until 2022, but as we prepare to withdraw from the E.U and the Common Agricultural Policy, could farmers here go subsidy free as New Zealand did in 1984? James Webster is a Market Analyst from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board
