Thinktank finds ‘clear and robust impact’ of Brexit on rising food prices, adding to cost of living crisis
Brexit has pushed up the price of food imported from the EU, compounding Britain’s unfolding cost of living crisis, according to a report.
The thinktank UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) said trade barriers introduced after leaving the EU had led to a 6% increase in UK food prices between December 2019 and September 2021, adding to the rising financial pressure for households.
