A decade has passed since the UK officially exited the European Union, leaving a lasting mark on the food and beverage industry. According to FoodNavigator Europe, the transition has led to significant divergence in regulations and increased complexity for those trading between the UK and EU.
The industry has particularly felt the impact through rising food prices and a shortage of available labour. These challenges have reshaped how businesses operate within the sector over the last ten years.
Despite these major disruptions, some areas of the market have seen little change, suggesting a mixed legacy of stability and instability for producers and retailers alike.
