Milk: Overseas Trade
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the reasons were for his Department commissioning Agra Leas Consulting to produce a report into the potential for future GB-European trade in liquid milk.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 12 September 2007]: DEFRA commissioned this work to clarify the various economic, logistical and technological barriers and risks apparently resulting in limited trade in liquid milk between GB and the rest of Europe (including Ireland). The report was also commissioned to provide an evidence base for the industry to use to identify further threats and opportunities with regard to global trade.
