Bord Bia briefing: Food firms plan for life post-Brexit

Managing volatility impacts, market insights and extending market reach will help Irish agri-food exporters minimise any likely damage from the UK’s eventual EU exit, industry experts said at a Bord Bia Brexit briefing.

Bord Bia hosted a Dublin event for 180 Irish food and drink exporters, with inputs from UK food retail market experts. Participants shared views on the post-Brexit trading landscape, and outlined Bord Bia’s measures for supporting companies.

“Britain takes 41% of our food and drink exports, valued at €4.4bn,” said Bord Bia CEO Aidan Cotter.
