A Trade Deal with New Zealand has been signed which includes phasing out all tariffs on imports of beef, dairy and lamb. The Government says the deal will bring new opportunities for British businesses - but the National Farmers Union say they will have to go “toe-to-toe with some of the most export-orientated farmers in the world, without the serious, long-term and properly funded investment…. that can enable them to do so”. Under the deal, all tariffs will be removed after 15 yrs for beef and lamb and 6 years for dairy. Farmers across the UK are trying to help those fleeing the violence in Ukraine by providing empty farm buildings for the storage of food donations. But sending the goods on to Eastern Europe is proving more difficult than expected. Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
