The UK has a resilient food supply chain built on supply from diverse sources, strong domestic production as well as imports through stable trade routes.

Defra works with industry and across Government to monitor risks that may arise. This includes extensive, regular and ongoing engagement in preparedness for, and response to, issues with the potential to cause disruption to food supply chains.
