United Kingdom Exporter Guide 2025
The UK’s recent trade announcements—including the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, the UK-EU Summit, and the UK-India Free Trade Agreement—are expected to influence the flow of agricultural products between the UK and its trade partners. In 2025, the ongoing cost of living crisis continues to strain consumer purchasing power, reducing disposable income available for food and beverage purchases. Meanwhile, health and wellness trends, along with the growing demand for “food-to-go” options, are expected to shape consumer preferences, impacting product development, ingredient sourcing, and sales of ready-to-eat items. Domestically, the first half of 2025 began with unusually dry and warm weather, posing challenges for UK agricultural production and potentially disrupting the food supply chain in the months ahead.
