Camel’s nose under the tent.

But not muta-beef, right

This raises the question: does the UK have the (over) capacity to utilize the beef quota? Currently the UK doesn't cover its entire national beef requirement from domestic production (UK is reliant on beef imports).

Ah.. the NFU seem to be happy about US market access- seems they have been wanting this.

Why the actual fuck would we want to export the same amount of Beef to the US as what we're importing from them? Oh hang on a minute, we're going to be sending them the high quality stuff for their rich people to enjoy and they're going to be sending us their rank stuff to go into ready meals

hardly the big win for USA farmers trump claimed.

They should have given the figure in Trumps, not tonnes Given that Trump, at his last medical, was measured (!) at 224lb, that’s 127,946.8 Trumps we can export tariff-free, more if his doctor was fibbing (who’d want to be a weights and measures inspector having to verify the standard though?)

It doesn't mean either side will, that's just the limit that's tariff free is my understanding. We might send them nothing at all, or vice versa.

Love steroids in my beef. #Starmer out of his depth

It can't though without on-site certification. The shutting down of FDA schemes will render that impossible.

Honest question, Dmitry, can the UK border forces be trusted to do their job properly? The UK border control seems quite overwhelmed by all the extra Brexit red tape and not have enough resources / manpower etc. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article....

My guess it the consumers won’t see much of this choice as it will be earlier in the supply chain as ingredients sold in foods.

Guess it will depend on how keen the Americans are to buy our British beef! Hopefully very 💛

Trump created the crisis then with jubilation in the Oval Office pretends to solve it. It’s bull shit. Complete and utter bull shit. Americans: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Based on Average Dressed Carcase Weights for UK cattle*, this tonnage represents about 1.5% - 2% or so of the total number of beef cattle* slaughtered in the UK last year. *Calves excluded. www.gov.uk/government/s...

Exactly this, it's a great opportunity for niche/specialist production rather than for the the mass produced. I'm sure there must be a lot Texan beef connoisseurs who would be willing to pay a premium for rare UK bred beef. Don't sell them what they have already got.

Exactly. We eat our beef they can eat theirs.
