Brexit means fall in crops and fewer British products in supermarkets, farmers tell MPs

For weeks, things have been bumpy for British supermarkets. Gaps keep opening up on their shelves. Today there is no lettuce, tomorrow some meat products are missing. The day after, it’s bread or coffee that the store can’t keep in stock. It's not Soviet-style shortages, but the options are more limited than the British are used to. And the scarcity is apparent enough to make a splash in a society used to plenty — not to mention unlimited varieties of toast

Gaps on store shelves are now commonplace in the UK. Blame Brexit
Choices are dwindling in British supermarkets and restaurants, due to a shrinking labor force. As more key workers leave for the EU, Boris Johnson's government says that's what the people voted for.

Covid and Brexit have left fruit with a shorter shelf life
If a bag of salad in your fridge has gone prematurely soggy or your blueberries fuzzy, you are not alone.

Brexit’s impact
While many of our politicians will tell us (frequently), it is the energy crisis that’s the reason for the food price hikes, we cannot forget the consequences of Brexit. Labour shortages leading to crops left to rot in the ground is quite simply unforgettable and unforgiveable. The notion that we can import our way out of food shortages, arguably caused in part by Brexit, have been shown to be a complete misreading of the complexities of the world’s food supply system. The lack of foresight around climate change, the growing economic powers and food needs of other countries is frankly shocking
The food crisis is here, and it will only get worse
Professor Chris Elliott covers five areas in which the UK food system has been heavily impacted by the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and Brexit.

Brexit might seem like old news for the general public, but for retailers and food producers who rely on exporting or importing products to and from the Continent, the UK’s exit from the European Union is still a daily concern.
Some aspects of the Brexit deal which have critical impacts on the food and drink sector are still in debate, like the Northern Ireland Protocol, while others have only just been introduced after months of delay, like new trade regulations for imports from the EU, which were brought in on 1st January

Prof McKee, meanwhile, said the Government should focus on increasing the number of seasonal agricultural workers.
“We have already lost seasonal agricultural workers to Brexit – these were being replaced by Ukrainians, but we will no longer get them. This can only be dealt with with freedom of movement,” he said.
“The government could also agree to a food safety agreement with the EU – that’s the easiest and most obvious solution [to food insecurity], and it can be done instantly by the stroke of the pen. Politically, they’re not going to do it.”
Prof Lang added: “My frustration is, my country is not taking it seriously, it just does knee-jerk reactions. If the Chancellor is prepared to throw £15bn at alleviating energy problems, why is he not doing this for food
