MII targets €200m growth in exports of Irish pigmeat

The Irish pigmeat processing sector is planning for substantial growth in the coming years as part of the National agri-food strategy, Food Wise 2025.

Meat Industry Ireland (MII) has recently published a comprehensive set of policy proposals and recommendation setting out its ambition for growth in the Irish pigmeat sector and the necessary action points to deliver on this growth.

In producing this policy paper ‘Irish Pigmeat Sector — Delivering on Food Wise 2015’, we believe that Irish pigmeat output can sustainably grow by 80,000 tonnes per annum, delivering up to €200 million in additional export earnings for the sector.
