PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(30 May 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the UK-EU sanitary and phytosanitary agreement on fertiliser (a) regulation and (b) availability for farmers in the UK.

Asked by:
Sarah Bool (Conservative)

Fertiliser product regulation does not fall within the scope of the UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement.

Fertiliser is a global market. Ensuring a resilient supply chain involves maintaining diverse sources, domestically and through international imports. The UK sources fertiliser from a wide range of countries including the EU. The UK-EU sanitary and phytosanitary agreement has not changed this situation.
