Any UK trade deal with Australia must not disadvantage Welsh farmers, Wales’ new Economy Minister has warned. Vaughan Gething and Rural Affairs Minister Lesley Griffiths issued the warning amid reports of a deal containing possible zero-tariff market access for agriculture products between the two countries. Such a deal, they say, would harm Welsh agriculture and food production because it would allow for lower standards of food to be imported into the UK. Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said: “Farmers and food producers play a crucial role in our society, economy and environment. We have been very clear with the UK Government that any new trade deals must not cause an un-level playing field, by giving food importers with lower standards an economic advantage in our market compared to our own producers.”
