75% of food and drink exports to come via Origin Green members

More than 75% of Ireland’s food and drinks exports will be from Origin Green verified members by the end of 2014, Bord Bia estimates.

To date, over 280 food and drink companies, representing almost two-thirds of all exports, have registered with the programme and there are 23 fully verified members.

The food marketing body is set to unveil an ambitious plan for future exports at its inaugural Global Sustainability Conference at the Convention Centre in Dublin tomorrow.
