[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 5695766, member: 3254"] 2016 Stats NI external sales to GB Mainland £10.5bn Exports to ROI £2.7bn Exports to rest of EU £1.9bn Exports to rest of world £3.7bn Don’t have figures to hand right now, but food and bev, is a significant slice of the total NI export trade including its external sales to GB. The huge fly in the ointment and the fly which has in particular stirred up the UFU and other business groupings in NI, is that the NI food and bev industry is inextricably intertwined with ROI. They now know that a hard border with ROI will have a huge effect on their whole supply chain. Their big slice of the £10.3bn to GB, will be severely disrupted whether or not there is an Irish Sea border. It’s long been clear that a hard Brexit will be severely damaging for ROI. Nobody on any side disputes that. But with the passage of time, it’s has become brutally clear that NI farming and food processing will suffer in equal measure because of the north south supply chain. Good to see the farmers not afraid to call it. [/QUOTE]
