FOREIGN TRADE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

Foreign trade is vital to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. With a large population, small land area and few natural resources, the country depends on foreign trade to supply the raw materials for British factories and to improve a market for the sale of the thousand of types of manufactured goods produced by British industry.

The United Kingdom’s principal exports are vehicles, machinery, manufactured goods and textiles. Her main imports are foodstuffs and most of the raw materials for industry. The United Kingdom imports one half of the food needed to feed the population.

Britain has very sound economic ties especially with the European Union countries, the United States of America and the Commonwealth, which includes Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many other smaller countries and territories.

The Commonwealth, officially called “the Commonwealth of Nations”, has grown out of the old British Empire which came to an end with the Second World War. The British monarch is still the head of the present Commonwealth.
