🤔 Are labour shortages in Lincolnshire jeopardising the future of local businesses and farms?
Labour shortages in Lincolnshire will threaten the agriculture sector if they are not solved soon, a report has warned.
The scarcity of workers in the county has also raised concerns about the future of farming and various industries that heavily rely on a robust workforce. The report highlights that a shortage of skilled workers in the agricultural industry has become a pressing issue, with various factors contributing to the problem.
Furthermore, the report said the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the labour shortage with restrictions on international travel, quarantines, and health concerns all making it difficult to recruit workers from overseas. "With an estimated 500,000 worker shortfall in the UK agri-food sector , the investment needed is tens of billion pounds," it said.
To address the challenges, the report notes Lincolnshire County Council and local stakeholders are exploring initiatives to attract and retain workers.
