  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   UK2021-0084

The United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union on December 31, 2020, and the Covid pandemic have both presented challenges and opportunities for the livestock sector. These include changes to consumption demand, both domestically and in export markets, and on supply, through developments in logistics, labor, and terms of trade. In CY2022, more stability in the sector is forecast, but much uncertainty remains.
