Talks underway with Japan to reopen Irish beef trade
Agriculture Minister Mary Coughlan told the Select Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food talks are at a similar stage with other countries, including Indonesia and the Philippines.
She said efforts by her department, together with Bord Bia and the Department of Foreign Affairs, led to the re-opening of the Saudi Arabian and South African markets. “Russia, Egypt and Algeria are also open, and there has been a partial opening of the United Arab Emirates market.”
