About EBLEX

EBLEX is the new Beef and Lamb Sector Company for England.  It is a division of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) which was established on 1 April 2008.

Funded through an AHDB levy paid on all cattle and sheep slaughtered in or exported from England, EBLEX also obtains additional grant funding for specific projects from a range of sources.

The philosophy at the heart of EBLEX is to deliver activities that add value to levy payers’ businesses and reduce costs.

The strategy is:

  • Promoting better returns for the beef and sheep industry
  • Stimulating a profitable demand for quality beef and lamb
  • Championing the development of a sustainable industry

This strategy is delivered through three EBLEX core products:

  • Better Returns – work either at farm level or near the farm gate designed to improve the profitability of cattle and sheep production
  • Sustainable Supply Chains – all ‘whole chain’ activity designed to connect the food chain
  • Building Profitable Markets – striving to build a positive business environment with activities designed to drive demand through trade, export marketing and promotional activities.

Better returns for the beef and lamb supply chain start on farm.  EBLEX is investing in a growing programme of technology transfer work under its Beef and Sheep Better Returns Programmes to help farmers make more from their businesses.
