Gary Ford, East Anglia regional adviser for the National Farmers' Union (NFU), said the recent trade deal agreed with Australia highlighted those longer-term concerns.
"That is a source of intense frustration and understandable anger," he said. "We have got among the highest environmental and animal welfare standards in the world, but we know there are different standards operating in countries that we are about to enter into trade deals with.
"We are all for free trade agreements, because they do open opportunities for UK farmers. But it has got to be fair trade. There have got to be safeguards, and there has to be a level playing field."
