'Critical' that farm sustainability keeps pace with the sourcing needs of global customers

"Ireland must continue to build on its key attributes as a meat supplier, focusing on sustainability, quality, and safety."

It was a positive year in terms of meat and livestock export performance, with exports growing by 15% in value to reach €4bn. 

It is "critical" that farm sustainability keeps pace with the sourcing needs of Ireland's global retail and foodservice customers, Bord Bia has said.

Bord Bia’s annual Meat Marketing Seminar on Friday examines the performance of the Irish meat sector in 2022, and discusses the biggest challenges and opportunities for the year ahead.
