A new market access deal which will benefit UK farmers, meat processors and exporters has secured exports of cooked poultry meat to Japan, according to the Government.
Industry estimates that this could be worth over £10 million in the next five years. A large UK poultry producer is the first to officially register and export its produce to Japan from one of its facilities in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
UK poultry meat has been exported to Japan since a deal for fresh and cooked poultry was secured in 2021, but Avian Influenza outbreaks in the UK have led to restrictions.
