Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food
Impact of Trade Deals on Agriculture: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
2:00 am
Ms Sinéad McPhillips:
There is an ongoing effort to find new markets for Irish products and build the markets we have. We have a meat market access unit within the Department whose focus is on maintaining and building access to those markets. We work closely with Bord Bia to develop those markets. We have a series of ministerial trade missions to various markets every year with intensive engagement. I will try to find the specific section on pig meat, but there are intensive engagements. It is not just necessarily about finding new markets; it is about finding the best market for each product and product category. That is what we are trying to do.
