How dare they sell that foreign pork here!!!, its too cheap and undercuts local product, I demand a protest demanding it be removed from local stores and only local pork allowed to be sold, how do we know its sustainably farm and what farm assurance do they provide in the way of product traceability?








Yeah , nah, she'll be right.

Go on, drag out your brand new Fendt and go blockade the ports quick! [emoji23]

It would be nice if every boat bringing lamb here took the same tonnage of pork back

Well I suppose they have to put something in as a backload - and it is RedTractor assured [emoji41]

Welcome to being shafted by your own supermarkets (if their not doing it already).

It doesn't matter where you are in the world, we are all getting shafted by the supermarkets, the UK dosen't have a monopoly on "shafting supermarkets"

No, just use the DB 885's parked up over the fence, odds are no one at the ports will be able to drive them either!

Do you think its any easier for us antipodean dairy farmers?

I think NZ imports about half of its pork as there's not many pig farmers left, so it's gotta come from somewhere.
Could be wrong though.

Think they're going to fill the empty containers with cheese and butter and send them back to blighty[emoji106]

I bet they'll fathom it out quicker than a fendt!!
