09:15 - 10:15 | SESSION 1: STATE OF THE UNION – WHAT DOES BREXIT MEAN FOR PERISHABLE LOGISTICS? Brexit will not just trigger domestic political change and risk but may also have a substantial impact on current perishable logistics chains, given the fundamental importance of logistics to the UK food business. Will Brexit significantly reshape how food logistics companies do business with the UK? Could existing trade flows be diverted as a result of Brexit? Can the UK benefit from new trade deals? Will demand outstrip supply for perishables in the UK? How will UK agriculture compete with the EU if subjected to tariffs? | ||||
