In 2015, England imported 2,5 billion pounds of dairy from EU countries. The same figures show that Cyprus is most dependent on England's dairy imports. Only a small amount of dairy goes to England from the Netherlands.
Cyprus exported £80 million worth of dairy in 2015. Much of this, £33 million, was supplied to England. Cyprus is therefore, at 41 percent, the most dependent on English dairy imports.
The country is closely followed by Ireland. That country exports 2.131 million pounds worth of dairy, of which 672 million pounds is imported by England. This means that 32 percent of total dairy exports go to England. Greece closes the top 3. The country exports 17 percent of total dairy exports to England.
England imports relatively little from the larger export countries (Germany, France and the Netherlands). Germany exported the most dairy in 2015. Of this, 290 million pounds, 5 percent of the total, was exported to England. The Netherlands is least dependent on dairy imports from England. Only 3 percent of our total dairy exports go to England.
