They'd have to all turn vegan for that to happen.
And they'd probably sell their meat companies back to us as well.

Basically NZ is China's "dairy runoff" or cut&carry block if you like, which is why I can see a day we do as @glasshouse hit and import hot air from you guys, so we can blow it up China's kilt at a slight loss.

Don't worry about what we're buying, because in a few years our economy will need turned off and turned back on again, we're f**ked already but going down

If NZ is f**ked then the UK is “spit roasted”.

No, they just have to have a dispute with NZ similar to the one they had with Australia when they criticised the Muslim re-education camps. China business is only available if you kiss their a*se and don’t criticise the regime.

Seriously though ,now is the time to focus on Home production no matter what political leaders and rewilders think.
Just Do It.
Transport prices are killing the job at the moment so you should be able to compete quite easily. When it comes to lamb, I don't see why you can't anyway. Lambs get fat off grass, the UK grows grass very well and in many cases you get paid for owning the land the grass grows on.

Perhaps retailers import because of carcass balancing? They can order just what they want at the standard they want and don't have to worry about the bits they can't use/sell?

Not being funny but importing a bit of NZ lamb is hardly going to crash the UK economically.

People need to chill out, focus on what they are doing well and try to ignore the government which is comprised of morons who can't organise a pish up in a brewery.

yes that as well but fundamentally they import to have another supply source to buy from/ /to be able to regulate costs

no that's fine ,all part of global trade. as long supply is steady not over at certain times of year like early suck trade ,because that should be ours to keep the viability of early lambing flocks

There needs to be steady ness with all of it ,

all the those involved in the food chain must realise this,
