Review of Food Harvest 2020 Strategy: Discussion (Resumed) with Irish Dairy Board and Bord Bia
3:05 pm
Mr. Joe O'Flynn:
If we take it in terms of the total business of the group, between 50% and 60% of goods are processed outside this country. Some of that is not Irish and is not dairy product. We pre-pack a lot of Irish product in the United Kingdom and in Germany for logistical reasons. In addition, a substantial volume of non-Irish product is part of the totality of our business.
