Agriculture - President of the Chamber of Agriculture: Volquardsen re-elected
Ute Volquardsen has been re-elected as President of the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Agriculture. The 59-year-old was unanimously elected for a further five years with 58 votes at the Annual General Meeting in Rendsburg on Thursday, as the chamber announced. She is still the only woman in Germany to head a chamber of agriculture.
"For me, this office is a clear mandate to continue to align the Chamber with the pressing practical issues in agriculture as well as in the areas of forestry, horticulture and fisheries," she said in a statement after the election.
The state-certified rural housekeeping manager was elected President for the first time in 2018. Volquardsen runs an arable farm with laying hens and a farm store with her family in North Friesland. This also includes suckler cow, poultry and pig farming for direct marketing.

Despite being the only woman in Germany to lead a chamber of agriculture, Volquardsen continued to manage an arable farm, layer hen operation, and a family-run farm store in North Friesland, which includes cattle, poultry, and pig farming for direct marketing, all in the rural region of Schleswig-Holstein.
