More #Brexit 'benefits' for you;
Food exporters to the #EU have encountered (unsurprisingly) extra costs now that they are outside the bloc.
The Brexiters expected (if they even really thought about it) that exporters would pivot to new #markets... but what the Gravity theory of international trade tells us is that exporters focus on the nearest market(s), which remains the EU.
This was all clearly predicted, so once again Project Fear = project reality, in the end!
