The continuing uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the imposition of potential tariffs of 1.7 billion euros for food products is of great concern to British farmers.

British Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture Michael Gove said that the UK will not remove tariff barriers in the absence of an agreement on Brexit.

The lack of confirmation of information on new tariff quotas for imported agricultural products also does not add confidence to British farmers. English farmers fear that due to low tariff quotas, the influx of cheaper products into the country will increase.

Today, the United Kingdom imports about 40% of the country's food products, of which 70% are products from EU countries. The introduction of too high quotas, according to the National Union of Farmers, can lead to a shortage of food in the domestic market, therefore, the National Union of Farmers believes that a reasonable balance is needed in the issue of quotas for imported food products.

British meat producers also expressed their concern about the possible negative impact of Brexit, which called on the government to ease the uncertainty surrounding this issue.
