Harnessing the potential of food production

One of the jewels in our economy is the food and beverage industry, and a healthy debate is underway about how best to shape it for long-term growth and development.

There are two major issues to be addressed: How to develop Ireland as a physical location for the production of food; and how to foster a generation of companies and co-ops that can add value, economic wealth, and jobs for Ireland.

The development of a cluster of companies and co-ops that can conquer the world in a variety of sectors is already underway. We can see Kerry Group’s global reach, chiselled out after decades of hard grafting across international markets. It stands as the gold standard for other aspiring food and drinks producers.
