The broader food sector, encompassing the entire supply chain from production to consumption, generates more than £120 billion annually and employs 4.1 million workers - approximately 13% of the UK's total workforce. Post-Brexit immigration changes and pandemic impacts have exacerbated the industry's persistent labor shortages.
