Farmers 'betrayed' by no-deal Brexit tariff plan

It is well known that the UK both imports and exports sheep meat throughout the year. This is to balance two things, the timing of UK production compared to domestic demand, and the carcase. For example, the UK imports more legs than it exports (including those on exported carcases), and more of these imports happen in the spring.

Brexiteers truly are thick.

You never know Galahad, maybe one day, far into the future, someone might invent a 'freezer'.

Bless fillyboy thinks he is being smug

Unfortunately his brain is absent of the information.

Perhaps I can help:
The vast majority of UK exports are chilled

http://beefandlambmatters.blogspot.com/2013/07/why-uk-imports-lamb-from-new-zealand.html

However, while the UK market is technically self-sufficient, it is not functionally self sufficient. The UK demands a larger volume of higher end cuts such as legs and chops, while UK exports consist mainly of carcases and a large proportion of low value cuts to emerging markets.

Most UK imports, particularly from New Zealand, are frozen, which is generally cheaper and aimed at providing a wider range of choice and availability for consumers. The vast majority of UK exports are chilled and includes product the UK market does not usually consume, highlighting the need to export. A drop in UK imports from New Zealand would likely result in a drop in UK sheep meat consumption.

You mean your technical Brexit solution is rear sheep with six legs.

File with your alternative border arrangements.

Your being conned, but your pig headed ignorance won't allow you admit that.

95% of lamb meat goes to the EU.
WTO tariffs will make it too expensive.

There ya go, hope that helps

just had a glance at some stats, we export something like 90,000 tons of lamb (2017) whilst we import something like 70,000 tons.

The UK imports a large portion of it's lamb from NZ, so a trade deal with them would be at risk if we eat our own.

NZ are already planning to sell more to the EU, so there goes much of that export market due to tariffs on UK products under WTO.

And the UK tends to export the parts of the sheep that brits don't like...

So it'll be more expensive choice cuts and an abundance of not so choice meat...

Pound falls so import costs will rise.

Cameron words.

More for less.

We will be paying more for less.

How come we are trading with NZ?
If trade within the EU deals is so expensive how come we can import lamb cheaper than we can produce ourselves

I thought the point of Brexit was to trade with new markets on super duper trade deals.

We have a predilection for legs of lamb in the UK.

NZ supplies them at a cost that the supermarkets like.

The costs won't come down as quitters claim, and we'll lose an export market for parts of the animal that we don't have a predilection for.
