It was answered by Graham Stuart (Conservative) on Thursday, 25 February 2021 on behalf of the Department for International Trade.


Overseas Trade: Agriculture

Question

What recent assessment she has made of the potential effect of her Department’s trade policies on UK farmers.

Answer

Our trade policies will open global markets for UK farmers and lower their input costs. We have successfully rolled over EU FTAs but now want to give farmers enhanced access to countries with whom the EU could not or would not do a deal. We are giving farmers a stronger voice in trade policy, putting the Trade and Agriculture Commission on a statutory footing and we have just launched a major promotion campaign for the industry.
