Problem is from experience even when given years they haven't been prepared!
Maybe they'll have learnt 🤔😄

Obviously I don't know what Magma / Chapman Freeborne are bringing in from Kenya, but the supermarket shelves would suggest stuff like green beans which don't have the same shelf life as say citrus or potatoes from Spain that as you quite correctly say come in by sea and Eurotunnel by the truck load. That said broccoli comes in OK by road from Spain. The problem for all this trucked stuff, including the former DSA business is just what happens when full import and port health checks are introduced at the likes of Dover and Portsmouth.
Basically you are asking to get back into the single market, and we'll only do that by accepting freedom of movement, ECJ etc.
So we are back to cherry picking - or having our cake and eating it.
Because they accept freedom of movement - do you think that is currently achievable in the UK?
Apologies for the thread drift - plenty of threads in Jet Blast if anybody wants to go running round and round this hamsterwheel.

Doncaster's mayor says she has instructed the council to begin legal action against the owner of Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA).
Ros Jones said this was to prevent the removal of critical assets ahead of the airport's proposed closure. Owner Peel Group said on Tuesday it had received no "credible proposal" for the airport site. However, Ms Jones said there was a credible bid in place, with the necessary financial backing. Last month, Peel said operations would wind down at the airport from the end of October as it was not financially viable.
Ms Jones said: "Following the lack of national government support and the continuing unreasonable actions of Peel with a ridiculous timeframe and current unwillingness to suspend the closure notice, yesterday I instructed Doncaster Council to commence legal proceedings to prevent removal of critical assets and infrastructure essential for operation and future potential operators."
Peel Group previously said it had begun "winding down provision of aviation services and facilitating an orderly managed closure".
