Re: Britain outside the EU

Cranswick, one of the UK’s largest pork producers, has called for government action to save the pig industry after feed price rises added to labour shortages to place farmers under “unsustainable strain”.
A jump in cereal prices of more than 50 per cent after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed up the price of feed, which accounts for most of the cost of raising a pig. This had added to problems in the sector caused by post-Brexit shortages of skilled butchers, said Cranswick.
