Aldi to invest €500,000 in new Irish suppliers

Aldi has announced it is investing €500,000 in a new supplier development programme to give up-and-coming Irish food and drink companies the chance to get on its shelves with a long-term contract.

The programme was announced as new research from Core Research found that buying Irish is more important than ever for Irish consumers, with 78% of Irish shoppers always choosing an Irish made product over a similar imported option.
