02/02/24 UK farmer protests? Fish trade with the EU.
As European farmers continue their protests - what's happening here in the UK?
All this week across Europe farmers have been protesting. They are angry about environmental rules, competition from cheaper imports and taxes on agricultural fuel. But here in the UK, no big protests - yet?
We've been looking at trade and today it's fish. We import 80% of the fish we eat, but we also export 80% of the fish we catch. It seems we鈥檙e not very interested in eating our own domestic species. So how is trade going for the smaller fishing boats around the UK coast, which are trying to sell to the UK population?
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
