UK farmers' union concerned two sectors will shoulder 'burden' after US trade deal

LONDON, May 8 (Reuters) - The British farmers' trade union said on Thursday it was concerned that two agricultural sectors would shoulder "the burden" of U.S. tariff removals for other industries in the U.S.-British trade deal.

"Our biggest concern is that two agricultural sectors have been singled out to shoulder the heavy burden of the removal of tariffs for other industries in the economy," National Farmers' Union President Tom Bradshaw said.

"While we understand this, we also know that today is the start, not the end, of a process and UK agriculture cannot continue to shoulder such imbalances in future negotiations."
