As the Wimbledon Champions begin, Britain is expected to enjoy an upsurge in exports of strawberries and cream.
HMRC figures reveal that the UK exported a record 3.9 million strawberries around the globe in 2018. 663,000 were exported in the first four months of 2019 alone.
As year-round production grows, exports of the juicy fruit were up by 56.3% last year, proving particularly popular with the Dutch who bought 361% more British strawberries last year than in 2017 worth 1.8 million.
