[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 6973016, member: 66524"] I keep saying this but people either don't want to listen or maybe don't want to understand. We export to U.K we have to meet U.K standards both government and Customer standards for instance we have Tesco's Nature's Choice accreditation (at Gold) we have Global GAP (no non conformities). However we will not be supplying much through the U.K summer because the Supermarkets support the U.K farmer rather than buying from us even though they will pay more and generally U.K product is not as nicely packed. With regard to beef etc it's unlikely that overseas product will enter the market unless it's significantly cheaper or better quality or as is more likely to fill a deficit in local production. Believe it or not life has been tough for the Supermarkets as well. The cheap food policy is pushed by Governments not retailers that's the reason there are so few Supermarket chains 5% profit only works when you are turning over a lot of money. [/QUOTE]
