The recent merger announcement of CHAP, CIEL and Agri-EPI will create an integrated capacity to provide agri-tech solutions for the livestock sector, driving producer productivity, efficiency and performance according to CIEL
Having secured £8.5 million in project funding to date in partnership with its Members, CIEL expects this figure would grow considerably and access to funding opportunities would only improve as part of a new Agri-Tech Catapult.
Helen Brookes, CIEL’s Head of Business Development says the merger presents several opportunities and benefits for the primary farming sector.
