Dairy industry successfully navigates Brexit and tariffs

'We have clarity on Brexit, and we welcome strong signals from the US on improved US-EU trade relations'

Sales of Kerrygold products grew 13%.

Clarity around Brexit and the removal of US trade tariffs have delivered a significant boost for Ireland's dairy industry which had already seen a surge in revenues due to the Covid pandemic.

Profits at dairy giant Ornua soared by 69.2% last year on the back of strong sales for its iconic Kerrygold brand and its ingredients business.
