Time to first published rating
77 days median · 143 days average
across 638 newly listed farmers and growers since 2022
Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.
