Written Question

Eggs and Poultry: Ukraine

Monday 24th November 2025

Asked by: Lord Wharton of Yarm (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the role of poultry and egg imports from Ukraine in meeting demand that cannot be met by domestic production of those products.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

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.

We consistently consider the views and impact on our domestic industry, and this is reflected in our approach to tariff liberalisation support for Ukraine. We will continue to take these views into account as part of our policy development process.

In 2024, domestic production made up 89% of eggs consumed and 83% of the poultry meat consumed. Our food security relies on a combination of both domestic production and a secure import route. Ukrainian imports of poultry and eggs currently constitute a small proportion of UK consumption and account for a small proportion of the UK’s total imports of these products.
