The agrifood sector is a hugely significant component of our exports and most exposed to Brexit, given that 35% of all food exports go to the United Kingdom. Last year they were worth over €4.5 billion. Farmers are very concerned about the risks associated with Brexit. Some 51% of our beef and 24% of dairy products go to the United Kingdom. While cheddar cheese, for example, is more attractive in the United Kingdom, it is not so much in other areas. What efforts are being made to ensure alternative markets will be available for beef, dairy and agrifood exports in general?
