Latest on International Bakery: Food & drink exports continue to fall in 2024 Food and drink exports have continued to fall in Q3, with exports in the first nine months of 2024 down 10.2% to £16.3bn, driven by a significant drop in alcohol sales. While the value of food and non-alcoholic drink exports remained steady (up 1.2%), this masks a fall in volume of 16.3%, an impact of high food and drink inflation and trade barriers.  The EU remains the UK’s biggest trading partner for food and drink.
