Why do you need the government to sell to Japan?
You just need a good product and an exporter don't you?

I think we have the products.........

The trouble is we lack the excellent exporting organisations that other countries have such as Australia.
AHDB use our levies for promotions abroad but only a few processors control the vast majority of the goods produced on this small Island and they have no interest in exporting to any extent which might raise their costs..... our income.
The recent rise in prices is more down to the processors losing control of imports which they use to regulate prices than anything else.

And the little matter of an export health certificate, agreed between civil servants from both countries.

These vet certificates have been causing significant delays for export of UK based animal products. I recently.spent 4hrs waiting at a loading site while the paperwork was put in order for 28t of frozen chicken offal.

Most just invest. Pay managers to run it. As is the case with the UK dairy farmer I mentioned.

I seem to recall we made a deal with Japan ?

Actually there was the Japanese deal where the Japanese refused to roll over the EU deal. When the EU deal with Japan was agreed, the UK Department for International Trade said that it would benefit UK GDP by 2.6bn. This deal ceased to apply to the UK after Brexit, so you had to negotiate a new one. The Department for International Trade estimates the value of the new one to UK GDP at 1.5bn

I don't know what you need, that's why I asked.
Wouldn't the exporter sort out all the paperwork?

For each individual load, yes. But it has to be to the framework agreed by the civil servants.

Listening to the radio this morning and they were saying that shipping a container from China used to cost $500 now costs $17000 that is a considerable increase in shipping cost.

Europe is paying more for containers now as they are scarce or in the wrong place. Apparently its one of the reasons we're struggling to get containers in and product out. Ships would rather run back and to to Europe/UK than come down here.
