Sainsburys

If you're shopping for groceries at Sainsburys, then it's good to know that Sainsburys have a long and established history of supporting British farmers.

However, Sainsburys believe this is about more than simply stocking British farmers' products. It's also about working closely with UK farmers to raise their capability and skill levels, and thus empowering them to continue supplying Sainsburys for the long-term.

Where possible, Sainsburys aim to source British and Sainsburys offer a variety of products that are 100% British all year long. For other types of seasonal produce, Sainsburys aim to stock the best of British in season and, in some cases, to secure supplies, Sainsburys purchase an especially large portion of the British crop.

Sainsburys commitment to providing great-tasting, affordable British produce means being able to provide customers healthy products when they are at their very best. In fact, during the 2008-2009 British season Sainsburys sold more British apples and pears than any other supermarket we purchased 45% of all tomatoes grown in the UK and purchased over 23% of the British strawberry crop.
