Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to assist Ukrainian agricultural producers in maintaining and strengthening access to United Kingdom markets following the recent changes to European Union export quotas and trade measures.
Under our Free Trade Agreement with Ukraine, tariffs on all goods are temporarily removed until March 2029, except for poultry and eggs, where the liberalisation is due to end on 31 March 2026.
The UK Government is now considering options for Ukraine’s future access on poultry meat and eggs.
Under the UK-Ukraine Enhanced (100 Year) Partnership Agreement, which was signed in January 2025, the UK has committed to broadening mutual market access and increasing agricultural cooperation between the UK and Ukraine; and providing support to Ukraine’s agricultural transformation, including on food production. The UK is engaging with Ukraine on these commitments and to support the successful development of Ukraine’s agriculture sector.
