LSE Business and Consultancy news:
The impact of Brexit on the UK dairy sector
23 July 2018
Given that changes could come into force as soon as March 2019, businesses such as Arla Foods UK have been compelled to start contingency planning, analysing what effect these changes might have on its business, on its farmer owners and above all on British consumers. To give more depth to this analysis, Arla commissioned LSE Consulting to produce a report to analyse the impact of Brexit on the UK dairy sector. The key finding of the report is that without frictionless trade and unfettered access to key skilled workers after Brexit, there will be significant impacts on consumers as supply consumers as supply chain costs go up.
