The UK\u2019s agri-food attach\u00e9 network has helped open almost \u00a3100 million in new export opportunities for British food and drink producers so far in 2025, according to government figures and industry estimates.<\/p>\n

Since January, the UK\u2019s 16 attach\u00e9s have removed 41 trade barriers across global markets, widening access for British products ranging from dairy to live seafood. Industry bodies estimate the new openings are worth close to \u00a3100 million a year.<\/p>\n

Recent market access wins include the opening of Vietnam\u2019s live seafood market, valued at around \u00a34 million annually, the unlocking of an estimated \u00a335 million a year in dairy exports to Egypt, and a \u00a33.8 million annual pork agreement with Mexico. Previous successes include securing access for British beetroot in the United States in 2024 and the reopening of pork exports to China, worth around \u00a380 million a year.<\/p>\n

The attach\u00e9 programme was created to expand the UK\u2019s global agricultural footprint following the country\u2019s exit from the European Union, which enabled the UK to run its own trade policy. The last Conservative government concluded more than 70 trade agreements, including new deals with nations such as Australia and Japan, and accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).<\/p>\n

The UK food and drink sector, the country\u2019s largest manufacturing industry, valued at \u00a337 billion and employing nearly half a million people, has been a key beneficiary of the attach\u00e9 network\u2019s market-opening efforts.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Eckley, International Trade Development Director at the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEnsuring we have a broad portfolio of markets for our world-class red meat and dairy produce is essential to maximise opportunities around the world and we will continue to work with the agri-attach\u00e9s, wider government and industry to help ensure those products thrive in the global market.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternational trade plays a major role in supporting our levy payers and the collaborative approach between AHDB, industry and government in securing market access and supporting export development delivers tangible results for our red meat and dairy sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Attach\u00e9s returned to the UK this week to meet producers and industry groups as part of ongoing work to identify export barriers, understand commercial challenges, and promote British products in high-value overseas markets. Their work focuses on emphasising the quality, safety and provenance of UK goods in regions where demand for premium products is growing.<\/p>\n

Top British agri-food exports last year included whisky, chocolate, salmon, animal feed and cereals, illustrating the diversity of the UK\u2019s export portfolio.<\/p>\n
