Total Irish agri-food exports are estimated at a record €14.5 billion in 2019. This figure includes €1.5 billion in non-edible agri-food sector goods, including forestry and animal feedstuffs.
As a result of extremely strong demand globally, pigmeat prices were up significantly through 2019. Irish pigmeat export values approached €1bn for the first time – FY2019 value is estimated at €941million. China’s increasing import need in pigmeat as a result of the reduction of its own domestic herd was the key driver of this price increase.
