258. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the countries to which Ireland currently exports beef, including a breakdown by country, in volume and value in 2016, of total exports in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2438/17]

Full-year figures for beef exports by Country in 2016 are not yet available from the Central Statistics Office. The data provided by the Central Statistics Office show exports of Irish beef in both volume and value for the period January – November 2016. This is outlined in tabular form as follows highlighting the top 20 Countries which imported Irish beef representing 98% of all Irish exports in the period concerned.

Bord Bia's aggregate figures for 2016 estimate that Irish beef exports for 2016 increased by 5% in volume but decreased slightly in value terms reflecting the difficult trading environment for this sector last year. I will continue to work on ensuring Irish pork is exported to as many international markets as possible in 2017, and ensuring that new and meaningful markets are open to Irish beef is top of my priorities for this year.
