UK beef exports down 2% in December

AHDB analyst Tom Forshaw said that despite shipments to Ireland increasing slightly, a reduction in deliveries to the Netherlands (-5%) and Hong Kong (-34%) lead to an overall decline. Ireland remains the main destination for UK beef, totalling 3,200 tonnes in December.

Exports in 2018 are 4% higher to total 110,000 tonnes. Like imports, increased trade came at the start of the year, predominately from both fresh and frozen boneless cuts however increased shipments of carcases to the Netherlands also contributed.
