British food and drink exports to EU collapse by more than a third since Brexit

·The Guardian·Impact 4/5 · High

British food and drink exports to the EU have fallen by over a third since Brexit. This decline is particularly significant for producers of eggs, chicken, and potatoes, who have seen a substantial drop in sales to their largest trading partner. The sharp decrease in exports is likely to have a negative impact on the UK's economy and trade relationships, potentially affecting the livelihoods of farmers and food producers. The decline in exports to the EU will also be a concern for the UK's post-Brexit trade strategy.
