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.
