A financial solutions specialist has said that “the UK’s trade deal agenda post-Brexit provides a promising opportunity to explore export opportunities beyond the EU, and champion British farming on the global stage; an industry associated with quality and safety, alongside tradition and heritage.”
Brexit uncertainty has seen significant volatility in currency markets, leading to the weakening of the pound, resulting in the value of exports decreasing, putting pressure on the agricultural sector’s margins.
He pointed to offal exports which have tripled over the last decade as a result of improved market access outside the EU.
“China, the largest consumer of pork and offal, could hold great potential for UK exports,” he added.
