MII says Government support for the meat and dairy sector will assist with market diversification in the aftermath of Brexit. File Picture.
The Government has announced a €100m capital investment programme for primary food processing - meat and dairy - and the move will assist the sector in market and product diversification in the aftermath of Brexit, according to Meat Industry Ireland (MII).
“While the December 24 completion of a trade agreement between the EU and UK that maintains a tariff-free trading environment is very welcome, our meat processing and export companies will still be confronted with costly and disruptive Customs and veterinary documentation and checks in the post-Brexit era,” said Cormac Healy, Senior Director MII.
