UK beef meat trade has shown a decrease from October to December 2017.
This is likely to be due to the fact that firstly Christmas is not celebrated on the same scale
abroad and there is an increase in the domestic market beef demand leading up to
December.

NON-EU IMPORT NON-EU EXPORT
High UK domestic supply has continued to allow high volumes of British lamb meat to be exported into Europe. This is also the reason behind static EU imports. Low non-EU exports are a result of sufficient volumes of meat outside of the EU, and high UK production costs making British meat uncompetitive on the global marketplace.
UK farmers sell large volumes of their stock during this quarter. This high supply within the UK
means that non-EU imports during this quarter have decreased and do not exceed EU Export
tonnage.
