Ireland’s sustainable farming methods can help build post-2015 trade with Russia, according to senior Bord Bia managers.

Bord Bia is leading a dairy mission to Moscow, which continues until tomorrow. Food companies attending the mission include the Irish Dairy Board, Kerry Group, Dairygold, and Lakeland Dairies, in advance of the industry’s expansion in 2015.

Michael Hussey, dairy and ingredients sector manager with Bord Bia, said: “This is a significant opportunity to demonstrate the Irish dairy industry’s commitment to operating sustainably with customers in Russia.
