Say country A sells beef to country B and country B sells cattle food to

Trade deals have to be comprehensive

They have to cover every product class

No they don't. For example, some countries have what we consider
prescription drugs freely available. It would be a nonsense to allow them
free access to our market. So any deal will always cover individual
products.

you cannot just pick a couple of sectors where you want to improve
relationship and forget the rest

Glad you've realised that. Which simply proves the Brexiteers were lying
through their teeth when they said we'd get the deal we wanted with the EU
after leaving.
