Beef imports to Britain and Ireland
Britain uses more beef than it producers so it will always be a net importer. Despite only consuming 10% of our beef production, Ireland also imports some beef.
With Ireland being a huge net exporter of beef and Britain being our largest market taking half our total beef exports, it is worth taking a look at what other countries supply Britain. Similarly, we might expect that because Ireland exports 90% of our production that we wouldn’t be an importer. Again, while volumes are small overall, there is import activity in Ireland and year on year changes are interesting. News Source
