February food export stats: note of caution sounded
That’s according to Mark Lynch, partner at corporate finance house Oghma Partners.
Exports of food and live animals to the EU increased by £300m (77.4%) in February 2021 compared to January, according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS). The rise comes after exports were
significantly impacted during the previous month, with the ONS report for January having shown a drop in food and animal exports to the EU of £700m (63.6%).
Assessing HMRC data, the ONS also reported an ‘uptick’ in exports of fish and shellfish to the EU in February as exporters adjusted to new regulations following the end of the transition period.

This afternoon the Irish Exporters Association (IEA) has largely welcomed the announcement by the UK Government to delay the post-Brexit checks on EU goods coming into Great Britain by six months.
The delay, which was announced by Michael Gove MP, gives Irish and UK businesses more time to prepare.
The CEO of the Irish Exporters Association Simon McKeever believes that while Irish exporters have more time to prepare, we have concerns about the impact that the delaying of deadlines is having to Irish businesses’ preparations and in a wider context, the overall impact to EU – UK relations.

UK feed exports to EU hit as not all countries applying the same controls The AIC, the feed industry representatives in the UK, say challenges persist in terms of exporting feeds to the EU.
While the trade body signaled in January and February that there were extremely complex issues surrounding the export of feeds containing animal by-products, it is now flagging, among other challenges, problems for its members in relation to feeds that contain no animal products.
The AIC outlined the issues as they stand:
Non-harmonized implementation of EU feed legislation and official controls regulations (sanitary and phytosanitary requirements) at EU entry points (including border control posts) and by national control authorities.
