Irish beef hardest hit by no-deal
A substantial no-deal Brexit reduction in the farm gate price of Irish beef would be inevitable, until alternative markets could be secured that offer prices close to those previously available from exports to the UK, according to Teagasc experts.
They said the tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) announced last March by the UK, for zero tariff beef imports into the UK, are smaller than existing volumes of imports from Ireland (the UK currently accounts for over half of all Irish beef exports).
