Exports of food, drink and horticulture from Ireland to the UK have remained constant in value at €4.4 billion, compared with 2020.
Ireland exports about 90% of its food and drink production. In spite of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic and the fact that the UK is now outside the EU, the performance of the Irish export sector remained robust in 2021.
The Irish Food Board has published new three-year targets to contribute to increased Irish food and drink exports. The plan envisages significant increases in the value growth of Irish food and drinks exports.
