The table below outlines details of the Ministerial-led trade missions currently planned by my Department for the remainder of 2025. The Trade Missions will be undertaken in conjunction with Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland and industry stakeholders.
| 2025 | TRADE MISSION |
|---|---|
| June | Korea & Japan, including a visit to both the Seoul food event and the International EXPO in Osaka, Japan. |
| October | China |
| December | London, UK |
| December | Paris, France |
The upcoming trade mission and trade visits highlight the diverse market opportunities available to promote the high quality and sustainable food and beverages produced by Irish farmers, fishers and processors.
These visits will follow on from my trade mission to the United States last month, where I engaged with my US counterpart the Secretary for Agriculture, officials at state and local level, and a wide range of US and Irish companies, who are seeing the direct mutual benefits of our strong trading relationships.
Further trade missions and visits may be added in the course of the year.
