"Britons could face higher food prices, and even empty supermarket shelves, as new post-Brexit border fees are introduced this week, industry figures have warned. A maximum charge of £145 will apply on imports of plant and animal products, such as cheese and fish, entering the UK through the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel from Tuesday. The fundamental change is huge to the nation's food supply," Nigel Jenney, chief executive of the Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC), told the Money blog when we first covered this story in January. "I would certainly expect to see price rises because these costs simply couldn't be absorbed by the industry." James Barnes, chairman of the Horticultural Trades Association, said this month that the policy "feels like it is constructed on the back of an envelope at best" and that the charges would "undoubtedly increase costs" and increase the likelihood of empty shelves in supermarkets. He said as well as higher prices and a more limited variety of products available in UK shops and restaurants, "we now might begin to observe a decline of EU businesses trading into the UK, simply because they have been priced out". Marc Forgione, director general of the Institute of Export and International Trade (IEIT), said there was another risk beyond price rises and potential shrinkflation. He told the Money blog earlier this year: "There is also a concern that has been raised with me by some UK-based businesses that their suppliers in the EU will frankly take a view that it's too complicated to deal with these changes and withdraw from the market." Mr Forgione said that over time the UK will have "the most efficient border in the world", due to digitisation and the BTOM's assessment of goods based on risk, but it will create friction for EU businesses where there was none. news.sky.com/story/money-latest-personal-finance-mortgages-brexit-sky-news-blog-13040934?postid=7600962#liveblog-bodyYou forgot to add…. …..

Were there shortages over Christmas that was reported.....No. I know you won't give a toss but we have shortages and empty shelves in supermarkets here...how do you explain that? Surely not Brexit!!

You might have but they won’t be as bad as here. As already explained to you numerous times, putting up trade barriers with your nearest market means more problems not less. 🙄🇬🇧

Why would she vote remain I wonder ? anyway to answer your question…… no. Thank you for your informative and constructive reply to my question. So based on that you must blame the French for the illegal immigrants coming over on small boats to the UK and believe we should be able to use the RNLI to pick them up and take them back to France as that's what Ireland is expecting to do.

Clearly a very astute lady. 😘 Thank you Stu. The reason she voted remain was due to her being a financial advisor and how it potentially would affect us here in France (not that it has in any significant way). As she said she voted with her head not her heart and had we been living in the UK at the time she would have voted to leave.
