100 days since Brexit - what are the pros and cons for British fruit and vegetable businesses?

After 40 years of tariff-free trade with the EU, the future looks very different for British fruit and vegetable businesses. Since Brexit, the export of produce from the UK and the import of produce from the Continent have both slowed down.

Fresh produce businesses face much greater administration just ‘to do business’ as they adjust to the new trading circumstances.

The UK market remains very attractive to both those inside and outside of the EU, with the US, Australia and New Zealand potentially now eyeing up new deals.

And with UK consumers concerned about value for money and rising costs and increasingly, the sustainability of the fresh produce they are purchasing, there is a lot to consider now for British fruit and vegetable businesses.

Can PM’s call for Brits to eat fish save the UK fishing industry post Brexit?

Calls for ‘Eat British Fish Campaign’ deemed too little, too late by UK fishing industry leaders.

Barrie Deas, chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations, said fishing communities were “very disappointed” with the post-Brexit trade deal signed by Mr Johnson.

This gave “free access” to EU fleets to fish in UK waters, he added, but without “securing revised quota shares that would reflect the UK’s new status as an independent coastal state”.

He did, however, welcome the idea of a buy-British campaign.

Impact of Brexit already estimated to have cost fresh produce sector 49 million pounds

Impact of Brexit already estimated to have cost fresh produce sector 49 million pounds

New operational procedures, inspections and bureaucracy required amount to approximately 400 Euros per truck as EU exporters struggle to adapt.

The EU exports over 3.2 million tons of fresh fruit and vegetables to the UK yearly, representing 40 percent of the UK’s internal demand. The staged introduction of UK controls is also helping the sector to adapt to new border customs and phytosanitary checks. So far this has prevented the “worst-case scenario’ of chaos and long lines at the EU-UK border affecting the quality of perishable trade. However, the sector is already facing significant additional costs through the need for new operational procedures, inspections and bureaucracy.
