Agri-Business
A new report has found that the biggest threat to the Irish agri-food sector, in light of Brexit, is fluctuations in the exchange rate.
Beef
Irish beef exports to China and the US for the first six months of 2015 (excluding edible offal) have increased by 251t with a value of €840,000.
Dairy
Every cent cut from the farmgate milk price is costing Irish dairy farmers between €3,000 and €6,000, according to the ICMSA.
The rise in export value of unpaid fifth quarter beef products could trigger re-examination of how value of deadweight cattle is assessed.
