The amount of beef imported per month is set out below up to end-August which is the most recent point for which the CSO has available data. The figures below are in tonnes.
Jan-14 | Feb-14 | Mar-14 | Apr-14 | May-14 | Jun-14 | Jul-14 | Aug-14 | Grand Total 2014 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1,683 | 1,343 | 2,006 | 1,919 | 2,288 | 1,935 | 1,647 | 2,153 | 14,975 |
Ireland produced approximately 520,000 tonnes of beef in 2013 and Bord Bia estimates that around 470,000 tonnes of this was exported.
