Vision and innovation sees speciality food sector go from strength to strength

Ireland’s only international food exhibition had much to savour, writes RAY RYAN.

THE vision, innovative spirit and passion of Ireland’s speciality food producers is noting short of infectious, as trade visitors to IFEX19, the country’s only international food, drink and hospitality exhibition, witnessed at the RDS in Dublin last week.

In co-operation with Bord Bia, County Enterprise Boards and Leader companies, the small scale food producers put on displays that not only attracted the attention of buyers from home and abroad but also people from large food groups on the look out for new ideas.
