Review: Agricultural exports among few sectors to maintain volumes

Agricultural exports were one of the few sectors to maintain their export volumes, according to the Irish Exporters Association (IEA) half-year review.

The Irish Agri-food sector accounts for 10% of Ireland’s total export and has been posting strong growth of up to 25% over the last two years.

A stagnation of the export volumes is an indication of the effect that the economic downturn has been having on Irish export market.
