Since 1 January, meat exporters and food processors wanting to export their products to Europe have been subject to many more checks and processes than before Brexit. Food exporters have said that the new red tape is complicated and time-consuming to fill out, as well as adding additional cost.

Meanwhile, the UK government has delayed the introduction of sanitary and phytosanitary import checks on animal products, meat and plants until January 2022, which some British companies have complained creates an uneven trading relationship.

Do you export food, particularly meat, to the EU? How has trading changed since Brexit – how much more costly and time-consuming is it? Are you considering whether to continue exporting your goods?
