[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 5858298, member: 493"] It's cheaper to ship chilled and frozen product half way around the world than to truck it across the English Channel. FYI: NZ farmers have the trucking from farm to processor deducted from their killing sheet (carcass value) total. Processors don't own trucks. Also the export transporting costs to market is calculated from the global basket of over 100 markets and that is built into the schedule price farmers receive from their processor. For more years than not over the last 20 years or so, much of our beef and lamb exports via the farmer owned Co-operatives (majority of capacity), supplying shareholders have received a rebate derived from better sale prices, factory efficiencies and shipping savings, ie. sharing the profits. Food miles only have impact with the flying of product and long distance trucking. [/QUOTE]
