The UK’s exit from the European Union is causing some disruption in the country, especially due to manpower shortages. For example, the shortage of carnivores, like Sophie Hope, frustrates pork farmers who have no way to get them out.
“It was a struggle, I will not lie. It was because of some sleepless nights and anxious days. There are so many pigs on the farm, there is no other place to keep them” …
Excess on farms and shortage in supermarkets. There may be a shortage of pork in British cuisine.
Breeders are asking the Boris Johnson government to take action.
“The biggest problem is right now. In fact, it’s been developing for months, and we’re at a critical juncture now. To deal with this excess pigs, we need to take them to slaughterhouses,” he believes.
Sophie Hope wants to see Europeans granted emergency visas – with the skills needed to solve the problem.
The crisis also affected another business of this breeder: poultry production.
Their chickens – which lay fertilized eggs – are for farmers who raise chickens for consumption, but the supply chain has stalled. That means thousands of eggs were wasted.
_ “_ I employ 20 people here. They work very hard every day. Early in the morning, they work hard to entertain these birds, so they produce a lot of eggs – they collect them all. You see these eggs being thrown in the trash can is depressing for all of us.” The creator agrees.
Euronews journalist Luke Hanrahan said, “One of the reasons these sectors have been hit hard by the EU shortage of migrant workers is because of the rapid growth of these animals.” “Cattle and lamb farmers will also start to struggle with the shortage of migrant meatmen from the European Union,” he added.
The British government announced that it was working closely with various sectors to address the country’s labor shortage crisis.
