The UK National Food and Drink Federation (FDF) released export figures showing a substantial jump in the export of several UK agri food products in 2022 compared with 2021.
Dairy export value increased from £1.5bn (€1.7bn) to £2bn (€2.27bn), of which £785m (€892m) came from cheese exports. This was a 39% increase in value on 2021.
Much of the increased value of exports everywhere in 2022 can be explained by the increase in dairy commodity prices but in the case of UK cheese exports, the volume also increased by 14.6%.
