Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Future of the Beef Sector in the Context of Food Wise 2025: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Ms Maria Dunne:

Their concern is that they will not be able to meet the volume required under the Chinese contracts. They are not asking to expand from boneless beef; there are many things they would like but their priority is for more plants to be approved. We have 11 more files to deal with. The companies see potential for a lot more to be shipped to China, purely of frozen boneless beef. After that, we will look at expanding into other subsectors.
