Posted 08 November 2017:

National Farmers Union says that UK crops will rot in the field if EU workers will not be able to remain in the country.

Also, since the Brexit referendum vote, the weak GBP has made food produced in the EU (outside the UK) more expensive for restaurants and hotels.

This is one of the biggest problems Brexit is creating for tourism in the UK. And it won't be going away for at least 2 years.
