Teagasc have provided farm number estimates for 2020 which will be available to the Food Harvest High Level Implementation Committee at its next meeting. These figures focus on farm viability and do not include a demographic profile. Information on current farm demographics is published by the CSO and included in the Annual Review and Outlook published by my Department.
