Export prospects for British sheep meat and dairy to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are looking positive with increasing demand driven by population growth and limited regional production. "For red meat exports the MENA region is an important market, particularly for the sheep meat sector, with consumption relatively high compared with other regions around the world. "AHDB is committed to invest in helping our red meat and dairy exports thrive on the global stage through a comprehensive programme of work which includes participating in major events like Gulfood. "We look forward to continuing working with industry and government to develop further export opportunities for our red meat and dairy sectors in the region." Further details about export opportunities for British red meat and dairy can be found in the AHDB analysis Prospects for UK agri-food exports.
