Uh, how does one source produce except through imports? A weak Pound will make it more expensive.
Even for things that can be domestically produced, like greenhouse tomatoes, they will still be more expensive even if they are now competitive with imports. And for items like rice and couscous you're not really going to be able to domestically produce them anyway.
