[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 5967012, member: 493"] No, you previously had EU professionals doing the UK trade agreements. If the UK finds itself having to make trading deals outside of the EU, it will have to employ trained UK professionals with special trade envoys whom are highly knowledgeable about their sector. Such teams are not ready made to be picked off the shelf at a moment of need. Foreign trade negotiators need a consolidated industry will behind them, i.e. farmers, processors and exporters all singing from the same hymn sheet. Bilateral agreements have been known to take inside a year's time frame. Details such as biosecurity (Vet agreements) can double this time. Multilateral agreements take years (CPTPP has taken 11 years so far and not yet ratified by all states), any new entrants have to accept the conditions negotiated by the original states. Growing and processing food is just one part of the package when the customer is in another part of the world. What's more, that customer probably won't want it as it is consumed in the UK, as they won't have an oven and their seasonality of demand will be very different. [/QUOTE]
