The first bit of hope that 2021 provides us exporters to the UK is the confirmation of the long awaited Brexit deal! It took four and a half years of waffle, hype and bluster with negotiations that felt like you’d have a better chance of drawing blood from a stone.

The deal isn’t perfect and there will be more checks at borders but it does ensure a mostly tariff free trading relationship. There is relief in the dairy sector that a deal has been agreed. The relationship between Ireland & the UK is especially important for the dairy industry due to the volume of product trading between the two countries. The UK market is very reliant on dairy supply from across the Irish sea and the deal agreed protects the Irish agri food sector which is vital for the domestic economy.
