David Cameron plans to cut 'red tape' including fewer farm inspections in order to boost productivity in the farming sector, which he said would grow food exports by £7 billion.
The Prime Minister said "As a one nation government, we will keep on backing British farmers to grow and sell more home-grown food by liberating them from red tape and opening up new multi-million pound export markets." The announcement included plans to increase the number of designated Protected Food Names such as Stilton Blue Cheese or Gloucestershire cider from 63 to 200.
