Mr Bourns, who farms in Gloucestershire, became commodity board chairman in 2003 after five years as committee chairman.
The process of electing a new chairman will now take place at the next board meeting in May.
NFU director of policy Martin Haworth thanked Mr Bourns for his service to the NFU.
He said: "I would like to pay tribute to the hard work Charles has done over the past 14 years and I have no doubt he will continue to play an important role with both the NFU and the wider industry."
