UK could face turkey shortage at Christmas due to Brexit
The UK could experience a “national shortage” of turkeys in the run-up to Christmas due to the impact of Brexit, an industry leader has said.
The chair of the Traditional Farm Fresh Turkey Association said a labour shortage following the UK’s exit from the EU could lead to fewer turkeys on supermarket shelves, Yahoo News reports, quoting the Independent.
Her comments echo warnings from poultry farmers, who have previously said serious staff shortages could affect how many turkeys are available at Christmas.
It was estimated last month there were nearly 7,000 job vacancies in the poultry industry.
