1159	Brexit will impair the UK fish&seafood sector	Rabobank analysts consider that, in case of hard Brexit, Great Britain has much more to lose on fisheries than EU's sector.	<p>If Brexit will bring along a series of tariffs imposed on seafood from 2021, UK has a lot more to lose the European partners, predicts Beyhan de Jong, Associate Analyst - Animal Protein, Rabobank.</p> <p>Seafood trade between UK and EU will be impacted but the British sector will feel the hit much harder, says de Jong, based on the domestic consumption in the kingdom.</p> <p>Domestic consumption is based mainly on imported fis&seafood products while the catch is usually exported. "Mackerel, langoustine, and scallops are the top three species caught in British waters by British vessels, but they don’t have a market in the UK. These species are exported, predominantly to the EU. On the other hand, cod, haddock, pollock, as well as shrimp and prawns are the species favoured most by British consumers – yet they are largely imported", explained the analyst.</p> <p><img src="/files/pictures/article/Exports-imports.jpg?1524564977812" alt="Exports-imports" width="100%" /></p> <p>70% of the seafood produced in the UK is exported to EU and the domestic market is depending only by 30% on the imports from the bloc. 20% of seafood imports come from third countries that have a preferential trade agreement with EU, such as Faroe Islands, Norway or Iceland.</p> <p>From the products exported to the EU market, salmon has a significant importance on third-countries markets, 17% of the exported fish being shipped to the US. Also, 33% (50, 000 tons) of the salmon produced in Great Britain is sold on the domestic market and about 70,000 tons are imported.</p> <p>Without a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) signed between UK and EU after the transition period (2 years) tariffs imposed by the World Trade Organization could run from 2% to 20% impairing the fisheries sector in Great Britain by reducing the demand for British fish&seafood on the European single market. On the other side, EU could find other markets to export its seafood production.</p>	1		Industry		2018-04-24 13:22:08	2025-08-06 09:10:34	Details Edit Delete

1162	Pork exports from the UK went up in February	UK's exports of pork increased by 10% in February compared to the similar period from last year due to a rise in the country's domestic production, according to the latest analysis published by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).	<p>AHDB analyst Bethan Wilkins says that, based on HMRC data, fresh/frozen pork exports were 17,500 tons in February worth £22.5 million ($31.4 million), the value increased by a modest 6% due to lower average unit prices.</p> <p>The volume growth was based on the increase of 13% sales to EU countries (up by 1,200 tons). The most important importers from the EU were Denmark, the Netherlands and Poland.</p> <p>Wilkins says that the increase in export appeared based also on a "narrowing gap between UK and EU pig prices during the month may have aided pork trade within Europe."</p> <p>Pork exports to China and Hong Kong were down by 8% (-260 tonnes) and 15% (-124 tonnes), respectively.</p> <p>On the other hand, according to Wilkins, UK's pork exports reported increases to other global markets.</p> <p>"Volume shipments to the US grew by nearly a third on the year (+105 tonnes) and trade with the Philippines (+244 tonnes) and South Korea (+115 tonnes) more than doubled. In contrast to last year, around 25% of pork exports to the US consisted fresh/chilled rather than frozen product during February. This boosted the value of pork exports to the US by almost 50% (+£965,000), which helped support the value of UK pork exports overall," said Wilkins.</p>	1		Market		2018-04-24 14:58:01	2025-08-04 07:08:02	Details Edit Delete

USMEF is a contractor of the beef checkoff.</p> <p>E-Mart reported sales of steak cuts accelerating by 56 percent (from $4.1 million to $6.4 million) over a two-year period.</p> <p>“Beef in Korea has for many years been marinated for bulgogi and braised for soup and stew,” said Jihae Yang, USMEF director in Korea. “However, beef consumption trends have rapidly changed in the past couple of years, with an increasing demand for steak.”</p> <p>Yang explained that until recently, Korean consumers considered cooking steak to be a professional and technical undertaking. But TV cooking shows and social media platforms focused on cooking have helped generate interest in a variety of steak items. Adding to the fervor is the fact that more and more steakhouses in Korea were highlighted on cooking shows.</p> <p>The number of single-person households in Korea has also increased, and single people often prefer to cook steaks rather than traditional beef soup and stew. With these cultural changes in mind, E-Mart, which operates 145 stores across Korea, recently redesigned its meat display cases for the first time in 25 years.</p>	1		Market		2018-04-25 06:10:51	2025-08-06 20:38:18	Details Edit Delete

1175	GB pig prices experienced little changes, says AHDB	The EU-spec SPP for the week ended 21 April stood at 145.27p/kg, a modest increase of 0.11p compared to the previous week, according to the analysis published by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).	<p>Abigail Schofeild, trainee analyst at AHDB, says that although there was a slight increase compared to the previous week, the latest quote is 10.89p behind year earlier levels as prices were following a strong upward trend this time in 2017. This is the largest year-on-year drop since June 2016.</p> <p>In the week that ended 21 April estimated throughputs stood at 166,100 head. This represented a decrease of 4% compared to the previous week and on par with year earlier levels, despite slaughterings in 2017 being impacted by the Easter bank holiday.</p> <p>Schofeild says that this is explained by somewhat tightened supplies, "perhaps suggesting the challenging winter is now feeding into weekly throughputs. Average carcase weights stood at 83.74kg, 150g below the week earlier. However, this was still over 200g ahead of year earlier levels."</p> <p>The EU-spec APP rose to 148.41p/kg for the week ended 14 April. This was a week-on-week increase of 0.50p. With the SPP recording a more modest increase in the equivalent week, the gap between the two series widened to 3.25p.</p> <p> </p>	1		Industry		2018-04-26 14:40:52	2025-08-06 14:09:33	Details Edit Delete
