The move is being considered as part of a free trade pact with Australia the UK government hopes will be a springboard for similar deals with other countries.

Another Brexit Bonus ?

"We already have an agricultural deal with the EU.

Plus. Farmers have been subsidized to the tune of £2.4Billion a year. Within a decade, taxpayers will stop paying farmers on the size of their farms, now roughly £233 per hectare and comprising a third of farm incomes. This has been a massive distortion in favour of rich landowners."

It's all change down on the Farm. Time to get real.

UK farmers have sounded the alarm over reports the government plans a trade deal with Australia that would make its food and farming imports cheaper.

The move is being considered as part of a free trade pact with Australia the UK government hopes will be a springboard for similar deals with other countries.

But UK farming unions have warned of "irreversible damage" from a bad deal.

There is speculation the Cabinet is split over the move, and Labour has accused the government of a "sell-out".

As with many countries, farming imports from Australia face tariffs - or taxes - making lamb and beef, for example, more expensive.

But in a post-Brexit world, the UK government is keen to strike free trade deals and has now indicated that farmers may have to prepare for the lowering of tariffs on agricultural imports.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) would not be drawn directly on reports it is willing to concede to zero tariffs in return for an Australia deal.

However, it said a deal would be "an important stepping stone" to joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a sprawling trade group that includes New Zealand, China, Japan, Vietnam, as well as Australia.

A deal would "allow UK farmers even greater access to growing consumer markets in Asia", the DIT said, adding that it would not allow importers to undercut the farming industry or food standards.

However, the National Farmers' Union warned that its members will struggle to compete if zero-tariff trade on lamb and beef goes ahead.

NFU president Minette Batters said: "We know that if we're to open up the opportunities of new markets overseas for UK farmers, we will have to offer greater access to our own markets in return.

"However, this trade-off needs to be balanced, and we need to make sure concessions to our hugely valuable home market are not given away lightly.

"There is a very real risk that, if we get it wrong, UK farming will suffer irreversible damage rather than flourish in the way we all desire, to the detriment of our environment, our food security and our rural communities."

Farmers' concerns are reportedly shared by some members of the Cabinet.

The Financial Times reported that Environment Secretary George Eustice and Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove are at loggerheads with International Trade Secretary Liz Truss and Brexit minister Lord Frost over granting tariff-free access to Australian, and possibly New Zealand, farmers.

Asked about the rift by the Press Association, Mr Eustice said: "I'm not going to get into discussions that are going on in government about individual trade agreements.

"In any discussion on any part of government policy, and trade agreements are no exception, there's a discussion and there's a consensus.

"At the moment there's a very clear consensus in government that we want to do a trade agreement with countries like Australia, but obviously on the right terms."

However, sources did not deny to the BBC that there were Cabinet divisions over the issue.

Emily Thornberry, Labour's shadow international trade secretary, accused Ms Truss of selling out British farmers.

"It's perfectly normal that the Australian government should try to get the best possible deal for its agricultural mega-corporations," she said.

"But British family farmers have a right to expect that Liz Truss will do the same for them, not sell out their livelihoods for the price of a quick trade deal, and a cheap headline at the G7 summit."

Ms Truss was hoping to secure an Australia deal ahead of the G7 summit in June. She is about to start official trade talks with Canada and Mexico, adding to those under way with India and New Zealand.

Trade deals are about countries trying to secure the best for their businesses and people. When working down the menu of issues, the hardest to digest - typically, agriculture - is normally left to the last.

Australia aims to get tariffs and quotas dropped for all goods, which on the UK government's own estimates could boost imports from that country by 83% - mainly due to beef and lamb.

That's worrying for some farmers - but the government says any liberalisation would take years, and Australia isn't taking full advantage of the tariff free quotas it's got now.

But the key is what it signals for other trade deals and policy. An agreement with Australia will likely be the first one struck by the UK with a nation with which it didn't have an agreement while part of the EU. And Trade Secretary Liz Truss is keen to strike it fast, as a springboard for membership of a wider trans-pacific trading bloc.

Look into the size of farms in Australia . The beef farms are based on the American hormone reared systems . Not so many stockyards but certainly not healthy .

Australia defends the hormones as resulting in good quality beef. Just like 20 Marlborough are a good quality smoke . Risk is they both may cause cancer .

You obviously missed the word ****not**** and access to more markets for our farmers.

And also the get real bit . . . no more subsidies. Savings for the Taxpayer to the tune of £2.4Billion a year.

But with regard to your article, what I wrote above is 'probably' the future of Farming.

No more subsidies. No more free money to farming where it doesn't fit a particular need. Greater access to markets in Asia and Oceania.

If it was for environment alone . . . Then maybe subsidies would properly fit. But remember those Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) payments, didn't they catch quite a few planting rare plants to get the subsidies?

The major beneficiaries of the ag sub system has been the supermarket and to a lesser extent the processing sector, if you look at the cost of the wheat in a loaf of bread fir example it's around 7 pence in your average loaf, they are buying ingredients often below the cost of production.

Food prices will not drop but the supermarkets profits will increase if cheap food without the quality checks come in.

The CAP was floored by applying the same rules regardless of farm size.

Being from Lincolnshire I’ve seen the abuse big land owners made of the CAP. On the others side the small farmers trying to keep their livelihoods have only survived due to the CAP.

It needed reform. But now we are out I can’t see this government defending the small farmers.

Just because there is a deal, does not mean it will be utilised. The state of Australian farming after years of droughts, then floods and fires, would suggest they need all they can farm for themselves at the moment.

I agree with this policy.

I just don't agree with allowing our livestock and dairy farmers to potentially be outcompeted by US style industrial farms, quite literally on the other side of the world.

As for greater market access in South East Asia, people realise that there's a pretty big proportion of these populations who:

A.) Are lactose intolerant.

B.) Are vegetarian/vegan due to culture/faith.

Obviously there is a market for meat and dairy, I'm just wondering how overstated market demand is, given that the US, Australia, and NZ are already big players in the Pacific and will be looking to increase their share of a market they already have a hold in.

The price of food will only go one way, population growth increasing demand, climate change and environmental requirements mean more land devoted to non food uses will lead to less food, millions short now, wont end well.

Just an example,NZ are

expecting 2 million less sheep this year due to environmental concerns, china is also buying large areas to plant trees on,just one small country making changes that may well affect world prices,

You are the one who is ill informed mate. Go back and do your research before you try to make statement without foundation. Most of the farmers and fishermen voted Brexit. They all voted for self imposed sanction, it's the first time I ever see a Country voted to sanction their own economy.

"The Mexico and Canada Deals are seeking to upgrade the current agreements to make them more beneficial to all parties.

All easy to find. "

Actually if that is the spin you want to use of CETA (Canada EU Trade Agreement) you are going to need to revise it….

There is language in CETA that explicitly states that you cannot agree better or equal terms to the uk than you would to the EU…..

So where that means it may be better than what you have now… in anything where you are in direct competition it cannot be as good as you would get from the EU

The same wording is in the Japan eu agreement….

The reason why the uk is giving away the farm so to speak is they have to get them in place before the eu do…. So if sector’s of industry get sacrificed they will…..

So someone at the top said the threads said overseas competition will reduce prices… yes it might… but if you can’t reduce overheads then you are in the shit and the you go to the wall….

And competition is only competition whilst you have competitors.. and if they go to the wall it then becomes a monopoly… and prices go up!

Anyone have a guess at how many jobs are in the agrifoods sector… 2 million…

That’s why the defra are pissed off at what international trade is trying to do here

I doubt many of the farming community voted for Brexit because they knew what would happen to their subsidies. Ill informed or no first hand knowledge, like many on here.

You are the one who is ill informed mate. Go back and do your research before you try to make statement without foundation. Most of the farmers and fishermen voted Brexit. They all voted for self imposed sanction, it's the first time I ever see a Country voted to sanction their own economy.

"UK farmers have sounded the alarm over reports the government plans a trade deal with Australia that would make its food and farming imports cheaper.

The move is being considered as part of a free trade pact with Australia the UK government hopes will be a springboard for similar deals with other countries.

Another Brexit Bonus ?

Is that correct? As someone who has there generations at least, including myself that have worked in the agricultural industry and horticultural industry I think I might be best placed to know how farmers voted. Stop being politically prejudice. As for driving around in range rovers, while there are many that will, the bigger farms, many would prefer a pickup truck. Much more practical.

"Current sheepmeat and beef prices are higher in Oz than here currently,

But lamb for example has a 48% export tariff and beef has an 84% export tariff on under WTO rules …. No imagine that is removed in a free trade deal….. hmmmm "

The level of tariff had no bearing on the price of animals in their home market, if applied it just makes it dearer in the export market, when we joined the common market there was a tariff free quota given to NZ for access for sheep meat and dairy products, it was part of the brexit negotiations so is still around, cant remember if the same applied to meat from Oz as too long ago, for those old enough anchor was the brand name for NZ butter, it was brought in in bulk and packaged in Swindon, anchor is now a uk brand using uk milk processed in Westbury in the arla factory, it's a mile from us and several customer mine work there.

NZ have more lucrative markets to export to than europe, as countries become richer they move to a diet containing more dairy and meat, the growth markets for both Oz and Nz are in asia/ middle east and china, Argentina recently restricted beef exports as China was paying so much to replace Oz they didnt have enough for their own market.

"The Mexico and Canada Deals are seeking to upgrade the current agreements to make them more beneficial to all parties.

All easy to find.

Actually if that is the spin you want to use of CETA (Canada EU Trade Agreement) you are going to need to revise it….

There is language in CETA that explicitly states that you cannot agree better or equal terms to the uk than you would to the EU…..

So where that means it may be better than what you have now… in anything where you are in direct competition it cannot be as good as you would get from the EU

The same wording is in the Japan eu agreement….

The reason why the uk is giving away the farm so to speak is they have to get them in place before the eu do…. So if sector’s of industry get sacrificed they will…..

So someone at the top said the threads said overseas competition will reduce prices… yes it might… but if you can’t reduce overheads then you are in the shit and the you go to the wall….

And competition is only competition whilst you have competitors.. and if they go to the wall it then becomes a monopoly… and prices go up!

Anyone have a guess at how many jobs are in the agrifoods sector… 2 million…

That’s why the defra are pissed off at what international trade is trying to do here "

Where is this language because ive had a scan through 70 pages of the CETA and cant find anywhere that canada cant agree better or equal terms with the uk or any other country for that matter? Besides that the uk are looking to join the trans-pacific partnership which the eu has no control over.

The average farmer of cow herds in the uk is 30 cows…. The average farmer of cow herds in Australia is 30 thousand…… something to do with that “space” thing Australia has so they can carry larger herds….

So therefore it is cheaper to run operations at that scale than a producer in the uk may be able to achieve….

From the TCA Document @ .gov (UK)

"Tariff rate quotas

****** Tariff rate quotas in the agreement have been tailored specifically to the UK. *******

There is no outward tariff rate quota for cheese in the UK-Canada trade agreement. However, UK cheese exports to Canada continue to be eligible under the EU reserve of Canada’s WTO cheese quota until 31 December 2023.

Further details on this can be found in the side letters that were exchanged with Canada and that form part of the TCA."

"Tariff rates on goods

Preferential tariff rates for bilateral trade in goods between the UK and Canada apply as set out in Annex 2A of the agreement. However, in some cases, the non-preferential applied rates may in fact be lower because of changes in the UK’s Most Favoured Nation tariff schedule."

Averages can be and often are very misleading, suckler cow herds where that is the main operation would be larger than 30, they are often on stable farms to utilise rough grass on land that isnt suitable for arable and use labour in the winter when there arent many jobs on an arable farm so costs can be low.

Regardless of that, the plain and simple fact is currently market prices are higher in Oz than here, after transport costs it will be dearer still. Tariffs or not in the current situation are irrelevant.

They can be higher in oz because of the production rate plus the tariff… so they can undercut anything coming in plus retain the profit margins… that is the point!

You have no idea… it’s not price fixing if you can sell your product and still have a profit margin that would undercut what someone else could purely produce it at….

And it’s only competition till you drive others out of the market… once that happens it’s a monopoly or a cartel… and then prices go up

You will be paying more for manufactured food but that’s due to increased logistics processing etc. Number of reasons , Covid, Brexit , deep sea shippers profiteering.

One side of beef grown on grass compared to a side grown in a stockyard looks and prices roughly the same . Although cheaper to produce in a stockyard.

Do you know which is safer?? If one is 50p less is that because the farm is efficient or has the cow had more drugs to grow unnaturally ?

If you don’t know is that a good thing?

Sorry but you have little idea about this, oz has a huge surplus of all ag production it relies on exports for its market prices, tariffs will have no effect whether they bring it here when they are selling at a better price now.IF they were selling at a discount to our current market price then you might have an argument but the opposite is the case, atm it's more likely we could export to them however they are a small market with a massive over supply, in reality the quantity they would take would make it uneconomic. It's a non story.

"Current sheepmeat and beef prices are higher in Oz than here currently,

But lamb for example has a 48% export tariff and beef has an 84% export tariff on under WTO rules …. No imagine that is removed in a free trade deal….. hmmmm

The level of tariff had no bearing on the price of animals in their home market, if applied it just makes it dearer in the export market, when we joined the common market there was a tariff free quota given to NZ for access for sheep meat and dairy products, it was part of the brexit negotiations so is still around, cant remember if the same applied to meat from Oz as too long ago, for those old enough anchor was the brand name for NZ butter, it was brought in in bulk and packaged in Swindon, anchor is now a uk brand using uk milk processed in Westbury in the arla factory, it's a mile from us and several customer mine work there.

NZ have more lucrative markets to export to than europe, as countries become richer they move to a diet containing more dairy and meat, the growth markets for both Oz and Nz are in asia/ middle east and china, Argentina recently restricted beef exports as China was paying so much to replace Oz they didnt have enough for their own market.

The level of tariff might not… but economy’s of scale does!

The average farmer of cow herds in the uk is 30 cows…. The average farmer of cow herds in Australia is 30 thousand…… something to do with that “space” thing Australia has so they can carry larger herds….

So therefore it is cheaper to run operations at that scale than a producer in the uk may be able to achieve…."

The average herd of cows, dairy, which is where the majority will be, is 148 in 2019. By the same count the number of beef is between 28-50. The numbers vary considerably between lowland and 'highland' herds.

Now subsidies. This is where the subsidies should work. For those on 'lower' ground very often do not need the subsidies as they have the numbers to make it pay. Those on the 'higher' ground or places unviable for crop production, the majority of Scotland, Wales, lake District, Cornwall and areas of Devon etc, those are the farmers who need the subsidies. Not many of those driving around in range rovers! The problem being that the subsidies are blanket, one size fits all, generally, so the larger farms are also included. As I understand it, the government were going to announce changes to the way subsidies will work in future. As far as I'm aware that hasn't been announced yet as they have promised to honour the existing system for a couple of years. Hopefully it will work on income and farm size, rather than the current system. Dairy, beef, lamb and arable.

There is nothing cheaper than grass fed beef, aside from a little fertiliser grass is pretty much free. It costs more for beef that are housed. Give a farmer a choice he will always go for the cheaper option. This isn't viable over the winter though, so even grass fed will often be housed.

The difference between the two comes in the finishing time. Grass fed takes longer to finish, perhaps twice as long, costs low but longer return. The opposite is true of housed beef. As for 'drugs' I take it you are talking about gh? Australia use them in around 40% of grass fed beef to speed up the finish of a beef cow. Australia are also facing a backlash over this and many suppliers are instigating a ban on cattle producers using gh. Eventually the market will dictate, if the 'housewife' doesn't buy beef treated with gh, then there will be no market for it.

One of the many things holding up a free trade agreement between the UK and Australia is the refusal of the UK government to accept meat that has been treated with gh.

It's really nothing to do with what I want or my personal preference with regard to what I want to or not want to pay for goods.

But just out of interest - I use two butchers - One my husband likes the beefburgers from, they are local single shop, so are more expensive. For everything else I use Morrisons et-al.

What I am/and was talking about is 'what the Trade agreements were and are'.

You initially said that Tariffs could not be different between the EU Canada and Canada UK Agreements. It's clear that, just as I first said, you were wrong.

Yet again you are missing the point, currently oz market prices are higher than uk market prices they arent going to send stuff here when they make more money elsewhere. It's a very simple economic fact.in the current situation tariffs and cost of production arent irrelevant, it's their sale price they are interested in, until their market price is lower than ours and they can bring it to the uk and make as much money in this market as they can from any other it simply wont happen.

The threat to uk farmers is from the uk supermarkets screwing the price we receive, they use their power to push prices down, it's one of the reasons we dont produce for that market, everything we produce except some bread making wheat and oats is sold direct, the other two we produce to get the straw from as we make more money in the equestrian market from that than the grain,its a bonkers situation but its reality.

Well unless the Aussies are only going to send us the 40% of beef that is treated with growth hormone, which we don't have to accept, I'm sure we would be happy with the 60% that isn't.

Better labelling on products, containing British, Australian, etc meat would be the obvious way to go. Personally I wouldn't buy ready to cook lasagna anyway. Even restaurants should be able to say where the product originates. It could be an advantage to the UK farmer in n much the same way as the red tractor logo. But as usual it's down to the individual to make a choice. Making sure that it is an informed choice, is that the government, the producer or the retail to inform is another argument. Usually British meat of any kind if bought from a butcher will have a union jack on display or on a package if not the red tractor. If it doesn't it's not necessarily UK produced. Then it's down to choice. A free market economy.

It's not "forced" grown on drugs, it makes the animal more efficient at converting its food into muscle, it is completely safe to eat, it could be compared to us using red bull to keep energy levels.

If cheap imports take sales from good quality U.K. beef . The U.K. beef has to charge more per sale .

So result cheap stockyard hormone beef is all you can chose if you have a limited budget!

Britsh Farmers worried about

Being under cut .

I know the other one say ****NOT*****

If importers are under cutting the locals it means cheaper food for the customers

Do you work for a living?

Why are you asking someone a Question like that ?

Because he’s not looking at the impact of what cheaper food means . But not so long ago we were all going to pay more for our food once we left the eu and that was bad can people make their mind up ?

You will be paying more for manufactured food but that’s due to increased logistics processing etc. Number of reasons , Covid, Brexit , deep sea shippers profiteering.

One side of beef grown on grass compared to a side grown in a stockyard looks and prices roughly the same . Although cheaper to produce in a stockyard.

Do you know which is safer?? If one is 50p less is that because the farm is efficient or has the cow had more drugs to grow unnaturally ?

If you don’t know is that a good thing?

There is nothing cheaper than grass fed beef, aside from a little fertiliser grass is pretty much free. It costs more for beef that are housed. Give a farmer a choice he will always go for the cheaper option. This isn't viable over the winter though, so even grass fed will often be housed.

The difference between the two comes in the finishing time. Grass fed takes longer to finish, perhaps twice as long, costs low but longer return. The opposite is true of housed beef. As for 'drugs' I take it you are talking about gh? Australia use them in around 40% of grass fed beef to speed up the finish of a beef cow. Australia are also facing a backlash over this and many suppliers are instigating a ban on cattle producers using gh. Eventually the market will dictate, if the 'housewife' doesn't buy beef treated with gh, then there will be no market for it.

One of the many things holding up a free trade agreement between the UK and Australia is the refusal of the UK government to accept meat that has been treated with gh.

If it’s clearly labelled we can make a choice ( I’d rather it was banned ). However if it’s used in say a lasagne how would you know ?

The US are pushing to hide country of origin on processed meat products .

Well unless the Aussies are only going to send us the 40% of beef that is treated with growth hormone, which we don't have to accept, I'm sure we would be happy with the 60% that isn't.

Better labelling on products, containing British, Australian, etc meat would be the obvious way to go. Personally I wouldn't buy ready to cook lasagna anyway. Even restaurants should be able to say where the product originates. It could be an advantage to the UK farmer in n much the same way as the red tractor logo. But as usual it's down to the individual to make a choice. Making sure that it is an informed choice, is that the government, the producer or the retail to inform is another argument. Usually British meat of any kind if bought from a butcher will have a union jack on display or on a package if not the red tractor. If it doesn't it's not necessarily UK produced. Then it's down to choice. A free market economy.

If cheap imports take sales from good quality U.K. beef . The U.K. beef has to charge more per sale .

So result cheap stockyard hormone beef is all you can chose if you have a limited budget! "

If I had a limited budget, I wouldn't be buying beef. I would buy something else, chicken for example.

The hormone generally used as a growth hormone is oestrogen. Whilst studies have said it is 100% safe to eat, (as I've said previously, there's always an agenda, so perhaps the study was done by the beef industry or the pharmaceutical company making the hormone), there are concerns about the population eating oestrogen, particularly the male population. How much you would need to eat for it to start affecting the hormonal make up of the male population will be part of the study.

I, for one am glad that it has been banned in this country for many years. Are Australian males becoming more effeminate? I'll leave it to someone else to ask one! But as I said previously, it is only 40% of grazing beef cattle that are being treated. 60% isn't.

"I was watching countryfile and it seems they are not just going to hand out subsidies for the amount of land you have but what you do with it to improve the environment.

This will stop the big landowners just getting richer for no effort,i know a strange policy for tories those lefties wont like that.

So massive Farms in Australia are not owned by the big landowners ?

So not mince or a cheaper joint. The weirdos in north Manchester are partial to tongue. And I don’t mean oral!

I'm lucky, I don't have to make those decisions. But for those that do, there are cheaper meats out there without resorting to meat that has been treated with growth hormone. How do these people go on now? Surely they just continue to buy what they do now. No need for them not to.

Nothing wrong with a bit of tongue in a sandwich, it's chitterlings I tend to draw the line at!
