It is the principal representative body, and most powerful voice for agriculture and horticulture, representing a diverse range of farmers from smallholders to large commercial businesses, farmworkers and agricultural contractors.

The Manx NFU is the main representative organisation that Politicians, Government Departments and Non-Government Organisations’ (NGO’s) rely upon to represent the views of the industry. The MNFU is the Island’s farm-sector advocate—representing Members, influencing policy, campaigning for local food, educating on food production and the countryside, and keeping the public informed. We provide our Members with guidance, information, and a collective voice—particularly on issues such as market access, pricing pressures, animal health, and Government policies and schemes. We raise matters such as food security and sustainability, and challenge Government and retailers when strategies and policies negatively impact the industry.
