What's your preferences?
Because it seems there may be a lot of it around...
Or going to waste!
"Sales of milk and cream to the EU are down an extraordinary 96 per cent – and chicken and beef by almost 80 per cent – because of Brexit, new figures show.
Overall, the trade barriers erected in Boris Johnson’s deal have cost exporters more than £1.1bn since the start of the year, The Food and Drink Federation says."
"The statistics lay bare how withdrawal from the EU – rather than the impact of Covid-19 – lies behind the collapse in exports, since the transition period ended on 31 December."
£1.1bn lost in trade in less than a third of a year.
In a part of one industry alone!
Just like the Lamb industry is facing a partial collapse due to the cost of exporting to the EU...
"Lamb exporters are seeing significant increases in costs and bureaucracy when trying to access vital EU export markets, in a trend that could ultimately threaten the future of some processors and suppliers."
I wonder who the brexiteers will blame for the mess?
Edit: Has anyone heard of shortages of said food in the EU that the UK exported to them?
If not, it appears the EU needs the UK less than the UK needs the EU. But then it was ever thus!
