The Fresh Produce Consortium warned Prime Minister Andy Burnham about potential costs related to a proposed UK-EU trade reset. The FPC estimates that additional certification, inspections, and border charges could add over £300 million annually to fresh produce supply chains. This applies to approximately four million tonnes of fresh produce imported annually from outside the EU.
