How exposed is EU Agriculture to a No-Deal with the UK?

My experiments in data visualization continue (feedback welcome).

Quick summary: Only a small part of what the EU grows goes to the UK (7% in 2016) but 85% of that would face moderate to high tariffs under No-Deal.

Question:

"How much of the UK's food imports came from the EU?"

Answer:

In 2016 it looks like 63%.

Question:

"What share of the UK's food comes from the Euroean Union?"

Answer:

In 2016 UK grew 20 billion pounds worth of agriculture, exported 10 billion & imported 28 billion of which 18 billion was from the European Union.

So EU imports made up 47% of Ag in the country.

Note on above ^

Includes fish but does not include processed food.

Question:

"So does that mean UK food prices will rise?"

Answer:

If the UK and EU don't get a deal done and the UK keeps its tariff schedule the way it was announced this week, it's hard to see how at least some wouldn't.

Those are two HUGE ifs though.

Question:

"Where are the doggos?"

Answer:

This joke didn't land the first 9 times it was made in the last 5 minutes but your rendition really pushed it back over the line into hilarity.
