The UK government has announced it will scrap planned border checks on fruit and vegetable imports from the European Union, preventing the measures from taking effect on July 1.
This decision, attributed to what the government calls Sir Keir Starmer’s Brexit reset deal, is expected to save businesses approximately £200 million in additional supply chain costs, according to the produce sector. The move has been welcomed by industry stakeholders who had voiced concerns over the potential financial burden of the proposed controls.
