Scottish Farms and Fisheries in Crisis | Aberdeen News
Description
Scotland’s farming, fishing, and forestry sectors are in crisis, with nearly 5,000 businesses shuttered since 2020 — including 690 in just nine months last year. From family-run giants like Turriff Agri Parts to smallholdings, rising costs, pandemic fallout, and damaging policies like the family farm tax and fishing water restrictions are pushing these vital industries to the brink. MSP James Adams warns of a national security threat as energy, rates, and NI hikes create a “cliff edge,” urging both UK and Scottish governments to act before it’s too late.
