This report, produced as part of the APPG on Fair Value in the Food Supply Chain and the Rural Policy Group, examines farm-based food production and fair value within Surrey's food supply chain. It provides a county-level analysis of the structure and role of Surrey's farming sector, including production, imports and outputs, labour, contractual arrangements, and relationships between primary producers and retailers.

Drawing on evidence from farmers and sector stakeholders, the report explores how value is created, distributed and recognised across the food supply chain. It highlights the significant but often under-recognised economic, environmental and social contributions made by Surrey's farming community, while identifying the challenges farmers face in securing fair and sustainable returns for their work.

The report argues that achieving fair value requires greater public awareness, stronger cross-sector collaboration, and targeted government support. It concludes with a series of policy recommendations aimed at addressing power imbalances within local and national food supply chains and strengthening the long-term sustainability and resilience of the UK's farming sector.
