Irish food and drink exports to China are set to grow by almost 20% this year to more than €150 million, the Agricultural Science Association annual conference was told in Maynooth yesterday.

Bord Bia Asia manager in Shanghai, Breiffini Kennedy, told more than 200 agri-food industry delegates that China will play a vital role in the future growth of Ireland’s agri-food industry.

“This year’s big growth in Irish exports comes on top of a 12% growth in 2010,” he said. “Last year, Irish dairy exports to China exceeded €100m for the first time and our meat exports, primarily pork, grew by over 50%.

Ireland - Positive prospects for Irish food & drink exports

"During the first five months of 2010, the value of exports was more than 8% higher than a year earlier at almost €3bn. The rate of recovery has accelerated as the year has progressed with exports in May some 23% ahead of the same month in 2009. Generally, the export prospects for the major product categories for the remainder of 2010 are more positive as better market prices, an improved exchange rate and a more stable economic picture across key markets underpin trade”, according to Bord Bia Chief Executive, Aidan Cotter.
