Irish farms roll out the red carpet for Chinese

The Chinese prime minister was in Ireland this week and for our agri-food industry it was an important visit.

Alongside Li Keqiang was a senior group of ministers representing China’s political elite. These are busy people, representing a population of 1.35bn compared to 4m in Ireland.

That they chose to stop off here on a journey to Brazil tells us a lot about the ongoing development of links between China and Ireland.
