The Welsh lamb sector in particular is concerned about the longer-term impact the delays could have on trade
Lamb exporters are seeing significant increases in costs and bureaucracy when trying to access vital EU export markets, in a trend that could ultimately threaten the future of some processors and suppliers.
The sector had “dodged a bullet” by maintaining post-Brexit tariff-free access to the EU market through the free trade agreement signed by the UK and EU before Christmas, said Hybu Cig Cymru/Meat Promotion Wales market development manager Rhys Llywelyn.
But it was now toiling with a series of non-tariff export barriers that had the potential to create “huge problems” if they continued in the medium-term, Llywelyn warned.
