The Department for Business and Trade is asking businesses to share their views on its upcoming trade strategy.

In its manifesto, the Labour Party said it would publish a trade strategy to set out how to achieve long-term sustainable, inclusive, and resilient growth through trade.

Alongside the strategy, the government plans to use every lever available to get UK business the access it needs to international markets, including striking new Free Trade Agreements, and will promote the highest standards when it comes to food production.

To help shape that strategy, the government has sought views from organisations, businesses, and individuals about the areas of trade that are important to them.

This feedback will be used as one of the channels to ensure the voice of external stakeholders is reflected in the government’s approach.  

The NFU has sought feedback with members and will be responding to the consultation. We will share more information as it becomes available.
