The federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has reported that 6,503 tonnes of beef was exported to the UK in the first five months of 2025, which is more than for the whole of 2024. The rise in Australian beef exports to the UK follows the implementation of the free trade agreement between the two countries in 2023, with the increase sparking concern among UK beef farmers that they are being undercut by Australian meat. There are claims Australian beef is produced at a lower standard than British beef, while UK retailers are being accused of going back on a promise to source exclusively British prime cuts
