26 Jan 2021 --- The UK’s new Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with the EU is resulting in additional tariffs being applied to Irish flour imports. As a point of contention for local traders, the new deal stipulates that if the wheat used to make flour is more than 15 percent of third country origin, the full tariff of €172 (US$209) per metric ton becomes payable. This is equivalent to a 50 percent increase in product cost.
