Consumers urged to buy Irish food this Christmas

Farm groups are calling upon consumers to support food producers by buying quality, sustainably grown goods this Christmas.

Educational body Agri Aware’s Buy Irish Christmas campaign reminds consumers that the food sector accounts for around 300,000 jobs in the Irish economy.

“Source a high-quality Irish turkey, stay with our traditional Irish vegetables and make sure your roast potatoes are home- grown,” said Agri Aware chairman Richard Moeran.
