Labour shortages present one of the most significant challenges across the agri-food sector. That's certainly the case for the processing industry, which is experiencing acute labour issues and growing productivity needs. It has failed to keep pace with productivity increases. The processing industry is facing this, but so is the primary production industry. As I said, these challenges affect the entire sector.
Anything that would help increase productivity with the goal of lowering business costs could cause consumer prices to stabilize, at the very least.
