The volume of New Zealand lamb that can enter the EU tariff-free will halve after Brexit.
New Zealand can send 228,254t of sheepmeat tariff-free to Europe under existing Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQs).
On Wednesday, the EU Parliament voted to divide the quotas between the EU and the UK post-Brexit depending on current usage.
The UK takes 50% of New Zealand lamb imported into the EU.
New Zealand’s access to the UK and EU will now be 114,116t each.
