Covid-19 has reduced agri-food business confidence
A telephone survey of 190 food and agribusiness SME owners in June and July indicated a sharp fall in confidence compared to last year.
One third of owners of Irish food and agribusiness small and medium-sized enterprises would consider selling their business, compared to only 20% in 2019.
The third annual Food and AgriBusiness Report published by ifac also indicates that optimism in the sector has fallen to 55%, compared to 74% last year.
