Why Ireland's beef exports are under threat from the UK's post-Brexit trade agreements
Total beef exports to the UK were down by 2% in 2021 at around €880m.
Two major free-trade agreements struck by the UK are likely to threaten some of Irish beef's €880m in exports to the UK over the next decade, a new report has warned.
After 16 months of negotiations, the UK and New Zealand governments agreed in principle on new free-trade agreements in October and both sides continue to discuss further details of the agreements.Â
