There is little doubt that the UK agri-food sector will be one of the most seriously affected by Brexit.
Not only is it dependent on trade relations both with the European Union and with the Rest of the World, but it is also a sector dependent on migrant labour, and the most heavily subsidised and regulated under the present Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). UK farmers are guaranteed to receive the same level of subsidy as under the CAP until the end of 2022. Despite these efforts, the lack of concrete policy decisions and the uncertainty that surrounds the terms of negotiations with the EU make this period difficult for farm business planning.
The consequences of Brexit for UK agriculture will depend upon two major factors:
o Changes in and/or removal of agricultural subsidies
o Trade agreements or lack of them
