British lamb curries gaining in popularity
According to Kantar Worldpanel/AHDB, for the 52 weeks ending 1st March 2015, there was an increase of nearly 22 per cent in the number of people eating lamb curry, and NFU livestock board chairman Charles Sercombe has urged consumers to continue to choose British lamb, whether making it at home, ordering a takeaway or eating out..
“Although UK lamb supplies are set to be particularly strong throughout 2015 the markets are continuing to be volatile with new season lamb prices 60p/kg lower than the level seen in 2014,” Sercombe said.
“This is why it is so important that the food manufacturing sector and the public continues to back British farming and ensure it is Red Tractor assured British lamb that goes into their ready meals and shopping baskets. Choosing British lamb means supporting British farmers whose hard work helps to keep the British countryside the way we want it to look.”
