Salmon Sales Surge as UK Food Exports Hit Record High

Sales of British salmon helped the UK to export a record value of food, agricultural products and soft drinks in the first half of the year. Exports of the fish jumped more than 53% by value to £408m. According to the statistics, the UK food and drink exports rose 8.5% to £10.2bn, helped by the fall in the pound after last year's Brexit vote. 

The pound does not hamper the British salmon to become more popular globally. Still, whisky remains the top export, while salmon is second, and beer have rose to third, overtaking chocolate. 

Other popular British exports are:

1. Cheese

2. Wine

3. Gin

4. Beef

5. Pork
