A Supply Chain Solution
Ireland is part of a large and potentially high-value EU market that returns a high price for beef. Consequently, Ireland is in a strong position to avail of the growing EU beef deficit. As a result of the efforts of processors and Bord Bia, Irish beef has increased penetration in the main EU markets. The focus of current marketing is on repositioning and differentiating Irish product in order to improve market returns and increase market share.
Industry Partnership
Key industry experts from Bord Bia, ICBF, AHI, DAFM, IFJ, HSA and UCD will be present on the day to discuss individual farmer queries.
