Don't really think anyone will be surprised by this ?

The world stage for commodity products is a big bad place when your government is trying to appease the masses.

 

[Yale]

Maybe we should sell our farms in the UK and buy in Aus?

@cows sh#t me to tears

 

[capfits]

That must be the most worrying statement:
"Australia aims to get tariffs and quotas dropped for all goods, which on the UK government's own estimates could boost imports from that country by 83% - mainly due to beef and lamb".

Liz Truss is busy carrying out her remit of trying to get trade deals at any cost, no matter how one sided or destructive they may turn out to be.

But we've had 5 years of chlorinated chicken from the US threats on here. Has any of this appeared in supermarkets ?

 

[Werzle]

Australian beef price was so high last year that it became almost too expensive to export and exports dropped 15%. The national herd is also at it lowest since the 1990's because of drought and then high prices which saw many hfrs culled rather than kept as replacements
