Could you provide a link for your source and explain what the percentages are of please?
Otherwise they're just random numbers.

Thanks.
I think your interpretation of the figures is not quite right; 21% of the value of imports from the eu is fruit and veg. It doesn't tell you how much of our fruit and veg comes from the EU.

not sure what you mean. I was merely reflecting about drink. They would have to be very expensive bottles to amount to just a small number of bottles by value? I was rather interested in the meat/cereal percentage which struck me as rather low?

It makes interesting reading. One thing it suggest is that the worse off in society will suffer the most. All the evidence indicates that they voted overwhelmingly for Brexit. It certainly proves the saying "Be very careful for what you wish for, you might get it".
Many of the people who will suffer the most will be on benefits. The current right wing government is unlikely to increase them even if food prices go up a lot.

Come off it! I don't see either of the words "lower" or "class" in P75's post. And you know full well what word it was I found inappropriate. "Idiot".
