Covid

If all European Borders are being closed what happens about the masses of food we import through there?

Because we don't grow or produce enough on our own do we?

I'm not trying to scare monger, just wondered how this is going to be managed? Any thoughts please?

I'm interested, too.

Depleted workforce (production and transport), airport and port closures, and other factors are going to be, erm, noticeable.

Also very worried about this, because most inner-EU borders are closed as is the outer EU border. Although food deliveries will be prioritised, this is either going to require lenghty checks, or letting any random tomato lorries in hiding god knows what else, there are going to be issues.
