Most of our soil is old, weathered, thin and nutrient deficient. There's really only a small fraction of primary farmland.
O come on, man. Just admit it's because we refuse to use polytunnels.

A yes, and there's that.

Which explains why we are so good at producing meat. So good, in fact, that we produce more meat than we can consume. In 2019 we exported 9.1 billion dollars worth of beef and veal and 2.5 billion dollars worth of lamb.

Netherlands bought $144 million dollars worth of it. The country is pretty shit at producing their own. The Dutch don't know how to grow cows or sheep. They try polytunnels, but the results are disappointing.

Never see Ozland meat or Fernland lamb. Deep frozen stuff I never touch. My organic butcher only sells Dutch produce.

This is totally believable, but the nobody thought you would have eaten $144 million dollars worth of meat imported by Netherlands from Australia in 2019.

Probably sold it on (for a profit) as industrial meat. We have so many cattle in this country also we eat the highest proportion of meat replacement products in Europe that it is highly unlikely to be sold here.

In the future after the "great" deal Johnson has made with Ozland your meat will heading to the UK.

I don't know about Oz, but here, kiwi lamb is one of the most available meats, especially in supermarkets.

Why else would we use it as we have plenty here. Big business is industrial meat. All those fast foods.


This Australian trade deal shows how ‘Global Britain’ has already lost its way

No deal?

So that's what Dutch meat looks like. Sourced from Brabant in 1921. Must be pretty off by now. No wonder the Netherlanders have to import $144 million worth of the good stuff from Australia.
