The EU May Export Less Pork to the UK after Brexit

Animal Protein

18 December 2018

The UK has a sizable pork production shortage. To address this shortage, the UK has increased production and imports around 1m tonnes carcass weight (cwt) annually from EU member states. With the EU’s estimated self-sufficiency rate of nearly 112%, approximately 2.6m tonnes cwt of pork needs to be exported outside the EU in 2018 to balance local supply and demand. After Brexit, EU self-sufficiency could grow to 120%. Consequently, in the future EU-27, pork processors will need to work harder to secure opportunities for exporting pork meat and by-products that are not consumed within the EU. In the short-term, increasing Chinese demand will probably compensate for any loss of access to the UK market.

This RaboResearch F&A cross-sectoral report describes the impact of the draft Brexit deal and the accompanying political declaration on food & agribusiness companies in Europe. There is however still great uncertainty about whether this deal will be approved in the European parliament, and more importantly the UK parliament.

With Brexit only six months away and the proposed extension period ending less than two years thereafter, UK and European manufacturers are still unclear about the effects on their industry. Under a ‘No-Deal’ scenario, which is a real possibility, value chains will be forced to make adjustments. For the UK juice industry, the origination of fruit and the location of processing facilities might temporarily or permanently be impacted.
