Northamptonshire’s latest grain store and processing facility will create a direct link between farmers and end-users in the Midlands moving farmers from the position of supplier to that of valued partner in the food supply chain.

Please come and visit Camgrain inside the Openfield marquee at Cereals this year. We look forward to welcoming you on either 13th or 14th June at Boothby Graffoe in Lincolnshire. 

Camgrain's new site in Northamptonshire is a 'game changing' development for the arable sector across the Midlands and East Anglia

Construction of the Northants APC will shortly become visible to all following completion of ground works on Camgrain's 19ha (48 acre) central storage and processing site. Erection of the main steel structures is to commence in March ensuring that the new site is operational for harvest 2012.

EFFP's approach to increasing productivity and sustainability in the food chain

The food chain with its heavy reliance on the world's natural resources has for many years made significant progress in increasing output per unit of input, and this has become more urgent as prices for agricultural products and energy have risen in recent years. This is normally described as productivity growth and we take the view that productivity not only underpins business efficiency but also, when aligned with the signals inherent in market prices, it is central to social and ecological sustainability.

Continued gains in productivity over the next few decades are now required as the food industry enters a new era. In this new era balanced sustainability demands the highest possible levels of productivity generated by modern production systems that minimise the demands made on the world's resources. And this can only be achieved through the medium of new science and technology applied collaboratively across the supply chain.
