North America Opens Door for British Meat and Dairy
Premium British Food Finds Growing US Demand
Growing demand in North America is creating significant export opportunities for British red meat and dairy, according to new analysis from Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
The report points to strong interest in premium British products, particularly high-quality beef, lamb, and artisanal cheeses, as US, Canadian, and Mexican consumers increasingly seek provenance, quality, and differentiated food offerings. AHDB says British producers are well placed to capitalise on this trend, especially in higher-value retail and foodservice channels.
North America already represents an important growth market for UK agri-food exports, and AHDB believes there is further scope to expand volumes and value through targeted promotion, brand positioning, and continued market access development.
The findings underline the importance of export diversification for the UK meat and dairy sectors, as producers look beyond traditional EU markets to drive future growth.
