Re: Britain outside the EU

Milk and cream sales to EU drop by 96% because of Brexit
The UK’s milk and cream exports to the EU have dropped by 96% ‘because of the post-Brexit trade deal’s red tape’, new figures show. Food and drink sales to the bloc dropped by 40% in the year to February, a report by the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) revealed.
Whilst the pandemic has certainly contributed to slowing business, the organisation, which represents more than 800 companies, has blamed the post-Brexit trade deal. Animal and plant industries have been hit the hardest, with a 79.5% drop in chicken exports behind milk and cream at 96%, followed by a 77.6% plunge in beef sales and a 75.7% dip in vegetable oils.
