Explained in plain English
Will my food cost more?
Yes, possibly. When UK harvests are smaller, there's less food available from British farms. To make up the difference, supermarkets might need to import more, which can be pricier due to transport and exchange rates. This extra cost often gets passed on to shoppers through higher prices for things like bread, pasta, and beer.
