Re: Brexit is coming
Complete bollocks. Over 50% of all food consumed in the UK is produced in the UK, a much higher figure than 100 years ago
My information comes from here:
In a research note [written in January 2019], HSBC analyst David McCarthy and his team wrote, "It is widely believed that 50% of food is imported into the UK," he wrote. [...]The 50% statistic underrepresents the reality, McCarthy says. In reality, "80% of food is imported into the UK," he wrote. The lower number "defines food processed in the UK as UK food, even though the ingredients may have been imported. For example, tea is processed in the UK, but we grow no tea — it is all imported. When ingredients are counted as imported, the real figure is over 80%."
