Agriculture
Carlisle is surrounded by high-grade farmland and has long been a market centre, so it is no surprise that agriculture-related companies feature strongly in the city's business life.
Two major auction marts are located in the region: Rosehill's Borderway Auction Mart (owned by Harrison & Hetherington) and Longtown Auction Mart (owned by Cumberland and Dumfriesshire Farmers' Mart).
Thousands of animals pass through the gates of these livestock auctions every day, representing the interests of many regional farmers.
Supporting Carlisle's agricultural businesses are machinery and feed companies, such as Rickerby's, Lloyds and West Cumberland Farmers (WCF).
