But there’s no time to sit back and relax, Brexit has cast a long shadow over the Irish agri-food and drink industry as the UK is Ireland’s single largest export market. In 2016 37% of all Irish agri-food and drink exports were to the UK, which includes a staggering 60% of total Irish cheese exports. Jim has said Brexit “will have a profound impact on the Irish dairy and food industry regardless of how ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ it may be”.

Join us on Wednesday 28th June as we hear about these issues and more from Jim Woulfe on the past, present and future of Ireland’s agri-food and dairy industry.
