Uncertainty over trade deals post Brexit negative

The uncertainty over potential trade deals after Britain’s decision to leave the European Union could have long-term negative impacts for farmers, the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association has warned.

John Comer, president, said the full negative impacts of such deals will be passed back to farmers, while any benefits will be gobbled up by the links further up the supply chain.

A trade deal for the EU with 65m less consumers should be very different than one including the UK.
