Beef and Lamb Matters: Why the UK imports lamb from New Zealand
Interesting to see what started to restrict the import though.....
From 1972 to 1999, the UK sheep flock grew from 27.9 million head to 44.7 million head, with the UK’s self sufficiency rate increasing to 95 per cent to coincide with increasing production. Increasing production drove rising UK export volumes and, despite a fall in the 2000s, today the UK exports around 100,000 tonnes.

We also need to focus our efforts into small fishing boats that can operate within the 12 mile limit.
Good plan, we could also use them to rescue all our expats as they flee the evil Europeans.

No it is not good to be locked into trade with neighbours which then restricts trade with other people.

Why don't we buy more in from abroad?

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostBrexit and the Falkland Islands - Penguin News
The Falkland Islands’ fishing industry exports almost exclusively to the EU, with 94 per cent of fishing exports by bulk heading to the single market in 2017. Fishing accounts for 41 per cent of the islands’ economy and two-thirds of the corporation tax received by its treasury.
The islands mostly export loligo squid to Spain, a seafood that accounts for 89 per cent of their exports to the EU. The Falklands provided over a third of the loligo squid imported by Spain last year; once it arrives in the port of Vigo it enters the EU supply chain and is distributed around the world.
Representatives of the islands’ fishing industry believe that the “worst case scenario” of having to trade on World Trade Organisation rules as advocated by some Brexiteers would cause a £9m hit to revenues because of tariffs – a large sum for the 3,400-population archipelago that would amount to more than £2,600 per person.Last edited by The_Equalizer; 30 May 2018, 09:37.

Are there not some starving people in South America who could do with the food?
