Dairy remains the largest element within Irish food and drink exports with over 1.7m tonnes of product shipped to over 130 markets worldwide.

Irish dairy exports were valued at €6.8bn last year.

Record high agri-food export figures announced this week “show the importance of farming to the Irish economy”, the Irish Farmers’ Association has said.

The value of Ireland’s food, drink, and horticulture exports increased by 22% last year to reach €16.7bn.
