Sheepmeat sector plan
It is a processor driven initiative that will incorporate the participation of all stakeholders in the sector - the Department of Agriculture and Food, Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland and Teagasc. The exercise is being jointly funded by Enterprise Ireland and the four major processing companies (Irish Country Meats, Kepak, Dawn Meats and Kildare Chilling).
Cormac Healy, Meat Industry Ireland said the aim is to set out a clear blueprint for sustainable growth and profitability at both production and processing levels in the Irish sheepmeat business.
