Agricultural trade post-Brexit

BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, Agricultural trade post-Brexit

Anna Hill asks what post-Brexit agricultural trade might look like.

Presented by Anna Hill, who asks what post-Brexit agricultural trade with the EU look like. And she hears from two producers with worries for the future of their businesses.

We ask what post-Brexit agricultural trade with the EU might look like. Trade expert Chris Horseman from the global body Agra Europe says the lower the trade barriers, the more European rules we'll need to adhere to - including some kind of free movement of people. 
We hear from two food producers who are worried for their own businesses. Dr Matthew O'Callaghan is chair of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, and fears EU rules protecting named geographical foods could be lost. And farmer Johnny Crickmore, who runs a raw milk business in Suffolk, buys and sells into Europe and worries how changes in the relationship between the pound and the euro might impact him. 
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.
