Irish beef exports to Germany expected to exceed €100m mark

Kerry Foods won a global innovation award for its Cheestrings Spaghetti product at Anuga, the world’s largest food trade show taking place this week in Germany.

More than 500 food and drink companies from around the world entered a total of over 1,200 concepts and products. Cheestrings Spaghetti was selected as one of eight winners within the dairy category for the product idea, innovative character, and creative implementation. Anuga concludes tomorrow.

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has reminded European food sector leaders attending Anuga that the value of Irish beef exports to Germany has more than doubled from €45m in 2010 to €90m or 15,000 tonnes in 2012.
