Beef exports to EU markets set to grow by over 25%

IRISH beef exports to EU markets are set to grow by over 25% this year, according to Bord Bia.

It said the prospective ending of the 30-month scheme in Britain will require further significant growth to these markets over the next two years.

Bord Bia director of operations Aidan Cotter said the emergence of close relationships between producers and processors to meet the needs of specific market segments has been a key contributor to this growth.
