I thank the Minister for those figures. It is encouraging to see that we are moving further afield. Some of our products are particularly perishable and may not reach these destinations in time. Should we be diversifying some of our products at this stage? For example, at 85%, the British market is our main market for cheddar cheese. How will we replace that market? It is a key concern in the context of Brexit, in particular. If events do not go in a very satisfactory way, that market could be totally wiped out.
