Food sector faces home strife but global ease

CHALLENGING times ahead for the food sector in Ireland is the conclusion of a new report into the sector.

It is, however, surprisingly positive about how well the publicly quoted sector has adopted to the major changes that continue to dictate how the global food market is evolving.

It says also that due to their relative small scale, the likes of Kerry, IAWS, Greencore, Donegal Creameries, Norish, Glanbia and Fyffes all look well positioned in the context of the evolving global food market.
