The Impact of Brexit on the Farms
Since the UK announced the start of the Brexit plan in early 2017, the plan has had a significant impact on the United Kingdom, both politically and economically.
There has also been a change in the UK’s agricultural development. And one of the most obvious effects is on the local family farms.
According to the Financial Times report: “A poll by Farmers Weekly two months before last year’s referendum suggested 58 per cent of farmers backed Brexit.” Data show that most farmers have a positive attitude towards Brexit. And to this end, the government has also introduced some new policies for the management of agriculture in the face of Brexit.
However, this situation is not long; shortly after, The Financial Times has reported that “Almost half the British companies’ agricultural labours were unable to fulfil the horticultural sector’s demand for workers in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote — between July and September.” And many farmers feeling increasingly gloomy about Brexit.
As of now, many authoritative British media like BBC News, The Guardian and the Financial Times have reported the negative data analysis and reasons why the relevant agencies predict that the UK will not be actively developing after Brexit. It seems that the prospect of Brexit will face enormous challenges.
