Ireland - Tough times for Irish meat exports
19-Apr-2010 (16 years 1 months 20 days ago)
Irish exporters struggled to compete with supplies from the UK market, where the average price in euro terms fell by 7% due to sterling weakening. Volume shipments to the UK declined by 5% as a result, but the UK market share of total Irish exports remained unchanged at 51%.
Pork exports from Ireland were 7% down on 2008 at 76,200t, despite a 12% increase in shipments to EU markets, led by strong demand in the UK.
