Coface has published an article assessing the agrifood sector in its Western European region, which includes the UK, as high risk for insolvency and non-payment. Insolvency rates remain elevated, particularly among SMEs, while confidence across the sector is low, with many producers citing uncertainty around trade agreements, weather volatility, and input prices. Outcomes vary by segment: premium and niche, as well as technology-driven producers, show more resilience, while small EU-focused exporters, labour-intensive growers, and energy- or input-intensive operators are more exposed. The article also explores how companies can protect themselves using tools like the Coface Score and trade credit insurance.
