Exclusive: Data shows costs have contributed to value of meat exports falling by 17% since 2019
Graham Watson's insight:
One for the costs of Brexit file, with data suggesting that UK food exporters have incurred extra costs selling to the EU, equivalent to £170m since 2019. This is clearly inefficient and it's also going to significantly reduce both profit margins and their incentive to sell to our closest trading partners.
However, the distributional effects of this are most heavily concentrated upon SMEs who lack the resources to cope with the increased red tape and have invariably stopped exporting to the EU rather than incur these costs and this is desperately sad.
Millions of people may have to spend less on food and clothing to afford higher bills, an energy boss says.
Graham Watson's insight:
The cost of living crisis laid bare in a familiar form: trade-offs. Food or energy, that's the choice for the most vulnerable.
And looking at the data you can see why. Those people on pre-payment meters can expect to pay £700 more for their energy this year. And in return the government has given them a £150 Council Tax rebate and £200 towards their energy costs, that's not a rebate because it will be offset against future price rises. Bearing in mind the number of households with no savings, it strikes me that many more people are going to be experiencing poverty this year.
Figures reveal impact of Brexit and pandemic, with £2.7bn fall blamed largely on 24% drop in sales to bloc
Graham Watson's insight:
I'll leave this here - one for the costs of Brexit file, I feel.
However, food and drink exports have plummeted, by 16% overall, driven by a 24% decrease in sales to the EU - with a 50% decrease in exports to Spain.
The Food and Drink Federation are looking for improved relations between the UK and its largest trading partner in an attempt to help the sector recover.
More red tape after the EU trade deal will raise food and manufacturing costs, business groups tell MPs.
Graham Watson's insight:
The Food and Drink Federation have told MPs that food costs are going to rise in the wake of Brexit: it's Chief Executive, Ian Wright noted that "In the short term there will be costs and time wasted for supply to reach the shelves, and in the long term will be costs and changes, and fairly significant changes, to the way in which manufacturers in the UK and in the EU interact when they are producing product".
So where are the benefits? I don't see many right now.
Consumers could face meat, fish, fruit and vegetable shortages and higher prices
Graham Watson's insight:
Don't say you haven't been warned - a no-deal Brexit is likely to have dramatic effects upon the price of food. And if pensioners, who largely voted for Brexit, are genuinely poor, it would seem that they're going to be the first to suffer...
Nearly 11 million people are now behind on their bills while 5 million have gone without food during crisis
Graham Watson's insight:
The extent to which the cost of living crisis has impacted upon the poor is made clear, with the Money Advice Trust estimating that 20% of adults are behind on their bills and that nearly 5 million people have gone without food to meet their energy bills.
Paperwork and Covid culminate in another year of headaches for food and wine producers
Graham Watson's insight:
And here's the reality of Brexit for food and wine producers - paperwork, combined with ongoing supply chain difficulties. Are either of these things going to make our food cheaper?
Retailers and farmers explain what shoppers should expect as Brexit and supply chain problems bite
Graham Watson's insight:
The Observer wishes us all a happy Brexmas, using this article to detail where there might be shortages this Christmas, taking in Christmas trees, alcohol, toys and food. To be fair, it looks at the worst case scenario, and suggests that we'll get by...

HMRC figures reveal huge year-on-year falls in trade, with whisky, cheese and chocolate worst hit
Graham Watson's insight:
Costs of Brexit anyone? The first data set for monthly exports of good to the EU is in and there have been precipitous decline in food and drink exports, notably whisky, cheese and chocolate. All of which must mean that John Redwood's diet is getting somewhat samey, given that he seems to think that if Europeans aren't buying our produce we should buy more of it.
Does he not appreciate that we've not bought it previously because we don't want it, and that if we don't want it at a higher price, it generally doesn't mean that there's going to be significant increase in quantity demanded at a lower price.
Business leaders threaten to stop co-operating with government policy consultations as no-deal Brexit looms.
Graham Watson's insight:
First it's the car industry, then it's the food industry. Is anyone happy with Brexit?
Apart from the media obviously. What will they do after 29 March?
More seriously, some of the biggest players in the food industry are threatening to stop co-operating on government policy consultations because the threat of a no-deal Brexit means they're too busy engaged in making contingency plans.
