Industry backs QMS proposals to raise levy subscriptions by 20%

With a couple of minor exceptions, the Scottish farming industry has backed the proposal by Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) – the red meat industry promotional body – to increase its levy subscriptions by 20%.

Last week, in a surprise move, the Scottish Beef

Cattle Association (SBCA) and the National Sheep Association (NSA) called on the Scottish Government to undertake an independent evaluation into how QMS is run unless it steps up its

marketing efforts.
