Horticultural Membership

NFU Scotland represents the interests of the Scottish horticulture sector. It does this by monitoring developments that affect the sector and by using its contacts with key influences within our governments and wider industry to protect and improve the trading and working environments for the sector. To ensure NFU Scotland is correctly reflecting the views of its members working within this sector, there are dedicated representatives, chosen by their regions and who sit on the Union’s Horticulture Working Group.

Throughout the year, NFU Scotland’s head office staff work closely with the representatives, the Horticulture Working Group chairman and others to take forward the priorities and actions agreed by the Group. That same structure is used to deal with arising issues. In addition to the Horticulture Working Group, many issues that affect both the horticulture as well as other sectors are dealt with by cross-commodity committees with dedicated NFU Scotland staff.
