British public says,no to imports of sub-standard food

A new survey has found that 86% of the British public believe that future trade deals must ensure imported food is produced to the same standards as in the UK.

onePoll surveyed 2,000 adults and found that 69% of the public now had a favourable view of UK farmers in 2019, equally a record high.

Following these findings, the National Farmers unio (NFU) is asking why the government hasn’t yet laid out its plans on how it will maintain British farming’s high standards in any future trade deal.

“Today’s figures send a clear message to the government and our future Prime Minister just how strongly the public feel about not sacrificing British farmers in a future trade deal,” said NFU President Minette Batters.

“The survey is clear – shoppers tell us they simply will not tolerate the Government signing post-Brexit trade deals which would see food on supermarket shelves that would be illegal to produce here.

“British farmers produce food to some of the highest standards in the world and these new statistics paint a very clear picture that the public hugely support what our food and farming sector delivers for the nation.

“Food security and domestic food production should not be jeopardised or off-shored. It is strategically important for a country to have the ability to feed its people.

“A no-deal Brexit or a bad trade deal puts all that in danger and I urge the Government to recognise this as we enter the pivotal months ahead.

“It is striking that after US President Donald Trump’s visit to the UK, a further 2,000 people joined our campaign to Back British Farming to throw their support behind our farmers and the principle that that the UK should maintain our high standards of food production in any future trade deal. We now have nearly 30,000 people who back British farming and its values.

“The months ahead will prove pivotal in determining our future relationship with the EU and we have to get this right. The nation recognises British farming as an industry of great importance and value, it is now time for the Government to do the same.”
