Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the potential effect of the UK leaving the EU on food prices for products sourced from developing countries.

The UK currently sources only a small proportion of its food from developing countries. The most important drivers of retail food price inflation, including for products sourced from developing countries, are commodity prices, exchange rates and oil prices.
