Meat Industry Ireland seeks access to US and China

Ireland needs immediate access for manufacturing beef into the US and full access into the Chinese market, said Cormac Healy, director of Meat Industry Ireland.

The Ibec body for meat processors, MII has called on the Minister for Agriculture to intensify negotiations to gain full access for Irish beef to the US and China.

MII says an EU oversupply means Irish beef, lamb, pigmeat, and poultry need alternative outlets.
