SAW Annual Quota
Jan 30, 2023
The quota for 2023 is as follows:
- Horticultural Sector: 45,000 places (available for edible and ornamental roles)
- Poultry production sector: 2,000 places
This increase in the total available quota (up from 38,000 in 2022) follows through on a promise made by Liz Truss during her short time as Prime Minister.
This route allows approved scheme operators to sponsor workers, and can be used exclusively for workers with a Certificate of Sponsorship with a start date in that year.
Please note that Government’s current policy is that the quota will start to be reduced from 2024, with a review of the route as a whole at this time.
