Dairy industry boss Jim Wolfe still upbeat

Despite recent concerns about the Irish dairy industry’s ability to deal with a global downturn in the dairy sector, Dairygold CEO Jim Wolfe still believes the scrapping of the quota system is good for his company, the farming community and the country as a whole.

Speaking to 200 people at a packed breakfast meeting in Mallow’s Hibernian Hotel, he outlined his views on the lifting of the quota system, the future for the dairy industry in Cork and his company’s plans for the future.

The event was organised by Mallow Development Partnership (MDP) and offered Mr Wolfe the opportunity to discuss all aspects of the sector, and the role the local area has to play in Dairygold’s plans.
