Long-awaited report sets out guidance for agri-food trade

Long-awaited report sets out guidance for agri-food trade >More in © AdobeStock/ Simon Mayer Government needs to strike a balance between liberalising trade and ensuring UK farmers are not undermined by substandard imported food, says the Trade and Agriculture Commission (TAC) in its long-awaited report. The TAC was formed after prolonged requests from the NFU in July 2020, with a remit to advise government on how to advance the interests of UK farmers, food producers and consumers in future trade agreements. This was at a time of intense debate over the Agriculture Bill, where government repeatedly rejected demands to make it illegal to import food that do not match the UK’s in terms of animal welfare and environmental protection.
