(asked on 3rd February 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is the latest value of annual imports of lamb and lamb products from New Zealand; and how that value compares with the value in each of the past three years.
This question was answered on 11th February 2026
In the 12 months to November 2025 imports of New Zealand-origin sheepmeat were £234.3 million, this was £45.2 million higher than the 12 months to November 2024, £98.0 million higher than the 12 months to November 2023 and £37.5 million lower than the 12 months to November 2022. However, sheepmeat imports from New Zealand fell during the pandemic and are still below their value in 2018 (£264.6 million).
