UK pork producers are looking to fill the EU TRQ's
The UK Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board (AHDB) is urging the pork producers in the Kingdom to use the EU's Tariff Rate Quotas for pig meat. Most of the pig meat quotas are allocated on a “first-come-first-served” basis, with the allocation period running from July-June each year. This means the product can enter at the reduced tariff rate until the quota is filled, after which the MFN tariff would apply.
"We recommend exporters interested in utilising the TRQs in the event of a no-deal Brexit to talk to their trading partners", says Bethan Wilkins, AHDB Analyst.
The 15,067-tonne quota for fresh, chilled or frozen carcases and half carcases may be of particular interest to those dealing in cull sows. This TRQ reduces the tariff rate from €53.6/100kg to €26.8/100kg. The volume is equivalent to 44% of UK carcase exports to the EU last year. This quota has not been utilised in the current allocation period, so the full 15,067 tonnes is still available for use up to June this year., she added.
