With the Brexit lead in time, growers and manufacturers have an excellent opportunity to grow what we import. If the global warming scenario is right we should be able to grow most exotic stuff here in the UK and rely less on imports. When was the last time you saw a UK grown tomato in a supermarket even in the height of summer.

UK tomatoes, grown in lots of places, in the height of the summer especially, look out for UK growers on the label or box. We grow our own and winter greens etc Still eating local potatoes, they've lasted through the winter £5 a sack.
Fresh veg, uk grown greens and root veg all year round.
I think the only greens I buy from Europe would be broccoli and I can switch to another uk grown green easily, as long as we don't have weather problems too.
ps why is broccoli a word I can never get right!!
