In 2018, the total value of Irish agri-food exports was €13.7 billion. Preliminary figures for 2019 indicate that this figure reached €14.5 billion. Along with traditional food and beverages, these figures include non-edible products such as forestry, animal foodstuffs and animal hides.

In 2019, Irish agri-food goods were exported to over 180 countries worldwide.

The table provides a full breakdown of export destinations in 2018 & 2019 in respect of both value and volume of goods based on CSO data. The 2019 export data is provisional with final data expected to be available in mid-March.
