Smith: Bord Bia’s New York offices beef up presence in America

BORD Bia has opened new offices in New York beefing up Ireland’s presence in the US.

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Brendan Smith said the opening of the New York office was a major step up.

“Having operated for the past seven years out of Chicago, the Bord Bia decision to build on this by a full permanent presence in Ireland House in New York represents a strong vote of confidence in the potential of Irish food and drink in the hugely important US market,” he said when he officially opened the new facility.
