Farmers exports to the eu.
The post-Brexit situation for farmers' exports to the EU has been challenging, with significant drops in various agricultural products. Here are some key points regarding the impact of Brexit on UK farmers' exports to the EU:
Sales of British farm products to the EU have dropped by nearly 40% since the UK left the EU, with poultry exports down 37.7%, beef down 23.6%, lamb down 14%, and dairy down 15.6%.
British agricultural exports of crops to the EU have also shrunk, with a 37.4% decrease between 2019 and 2024.
The UK's regulatory landscape for crop innovation has shifted, with the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023 allowing the commercial cultivation of gene-edited crops.
The UK government has been negotiating trade agreements with the European Commission to facilitate current exports, but the outcome is uncertain.
Agricultural exports to the EU have dropped by 37% in the five years following Brexit, with the agricultural, textiles, clothing, and materials sectors being the hardest hit.
These figures highlight the ongoing challenges faced by British farmers in the EU market post-Brexit, and the need for continued negotiations and regulatory adjustments to improve trade relations.
