Sanction busting

Written by 

Sanction-hit Qatar is flying in food from abroad, including milk from the UK.

It comes from a Midlands farm, making a 3000-mile trip because of sanctions imposed on Qatar by four neighbouring Arab states.

It takes four days for the goods -- exported by Birmingham company Y International -- to arrive, then it goes on sale with other British milk selling for at least £5.

The liquid milk is a business boost for the dairy farmers who appreciate the guaranteed price.

Qatar has also airlifted cows into the emirate to help overcome the sanctions.
