Tesco, the UK-based multinational food and general retail giant, has ruled out cheap imports from South America.

The UK’s largest supermarket chain announced that it has no plans to import cheap beef from South America after Brexit amid concerns about the deterioration of valuable export trade with Ireland, which was prompted by concerns about the indirect impact of the UK’s hard-hitting British farms customs tariffs and import quotas in case of exit from the EU without a deal.

EU Commissioner Phil Hogan quickly eased concerns, urging Irish farmers not to panic. He said that even in Brexit’s scenario without a deal, demand for premium Irish products such as beef and cheese in the UK will remain stable.

Tesco UK Beef Manager Hannah Donegan said South American beef has been “excluded” for giant supermarket shelves because customers are choosy about product quality. Hannah Donegan also said that “there is a combination of parameters that are important to consumers, with two main They are price and quality. There can be no talk of South America. We are currently supplying all our beef from the UK and Ireland to the UK market. ”
