The UK food sector is calling for government intervention to mitigate the impact of rising input costs. These financial pressures are attributed to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, which threatens to destabilize energy prices.

According to a report by Just Food, there is growing urgency for the state to shield the industry from these inevitable price shocks to ensure stability across the supply chain.
