Border controls

Lack of border security and hastily arranged agreements will undermine work of farmers, says environmental campaigner

Dr Jason Aldiss, of the Association of Independent Meat Suppliers, said: "With resources stretched thin due to the conflict, farmers are struggling to protect their herds, further jeopardising their livelihoods."

Concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of the UK’s border controls, after vehicles importing food were found to contain unlabelled meat and flax seeds with illegally high pesticide residue levels.
