Government inaction on impending European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is threatening to halt lucrative beef exports to the EU and create an open goal for competitor countries like New Zealand, Argentina and the US to step in and take our export market.
With a looming deadline of 1 January 2025 firmly in their sights, the UK government have done nothing to prepare for the new export requirements. In fact, anecdotal evidence suggests they are actively washing their hands of responsibility, suggesting instead that it’s up to the industry to deal with it.
We are the UKs largest trade body for the meat industry and provide expert advice on trade issues, bespoke technical advice and access to government policy makers
