18 February 2021 |
UK exports of dairy products totalled 1.32 million tonnes in 2020
UK dairy exports plummeted by 10 percent last year as the coronavirus pandemic disrupted global trade, new figures show.
Exports of dairy products totalled 1.32 million tonnes in 2020, down 10 percent on 2019.
Exports were down across all the major product categories, but powders and concentrates had the sharpest decline, down 17% (29k tonnes).
Cheese exports were down 15k tonnes (7%) on the year, at 193k tonnes for 2020.
Analysing the figures, the AHDB said that although exports were down from the highs of 2019, most categories were at or above 2018 export levels.

With Brexit disruption and the pandemic contributing to a volatile market, what’s the outlook for key food commodities this year?
The so-called “teething problems” faced by the food sector due to post-Brexit border disruption have caused myriad headaches since the end of 2020.
And with a number of temporary easements designed to smooth the flow of goods due to expire over the coming weeks, the millions of pounds already lost by food businesses looks set to escalate further.
But the impact of Brexit on trade isn’t the only thing that could cause headaches for suppliers and their retail partners. We’re also in a particularly volatile period for global food commodity prices, which could add further pressure to already tight margins and ultimately push up retail prices.
