Project Topic: How Brexit is affecting international agriculture trade.
1) A brief description of the problem/issue:
The UK have been a part of the European Economic Community since 1973. However, the UK had always maintained a distance from the EU. It has its own currency and refrained from joining the Schengen agreement which removes internal border controls within the EU.
Brexit (British Exit) is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union on January 31, 2020. The process began on January 23, 2016 when the UK voted to leave the EU. The residents decided that the benefits of belonging to the unified monetary body no longer outweighed the costs of free movement of immigration. As a result of this exit, the new trade agreement could raise tariffs and cause inflation. Tariffs will be imposed on imports between the UK and EU and raise the cost of exports. This would hurt UK exporters as their goods become more expensive in Europe.
2) a brief discussion of how the topic relates to food and agriculture
The UK and the EU share an important agri-food trading relationship. EU countries export large volumes of agri-food products to the UK, notably fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, meat products, and food preparations. In 2017, the value of these exports came to 40 billion. The withdrawal will interrupt the food supply, large impacts on the British food system and diet-related risk factors because the majority of the domestic demand for fruits, vegetables, and some meats, is currently met by imports.
3) a discussion of how you propose to analyze the problem/issue (i.e. what course concepts or tools will be used, is there data available, etc.).
I will be adding tables, graphs, and charts that projects the tariff/non-tariff measures applied by Brexit. As well as figures to provide actual statistics about the impacts of Brexit on both local/international trade.
