Beef
Iran is open at present for Irish beef and sheep meat but to export there is a matter for industry, according to Minister Creed.
Despite Ireland having access to the Iranian beef market since 2013, no beef exports have taken place due to unfavourable trading conditions.
Sheep
Irish sheepmeat exporters can now ship sheepmeat to Iran following an agreement with the relevant Iranian authorities.
Dairy
One of the largest dairy farms in Iran opened its doors to an Irish delegation this week as part of this week's trade mission to the giant nation.
Agri-Business
A host of Irish food companies are this week taking part in a historic trade mission to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A high-level trade mission to Iran is taking place this week with the Department of Agriculture and Bord Bia.
Iran is set to become a growing market for Irish dairy exports, with the Department of Agriculture planning a trade mission next year.
