Bord Bia happy with clarity on free trade deal
Bord Bia have welcomed the free trade agreement.
BORD Bia, the Irish food promotion board responsible for supporting a record €13 billion in food, drink and horticulture global exports in 2019, has welcomed the free trade agreement reached between the EU and UK to commence when the Brexit transition period expires on January 1, but signals caution on the impact of new competitive forces in a post-Brexit Britain.
Tara McCarthy, CEO of Bord Bia, said: “We welcome the clarity that this post-Brexit free trade deal brings for Ireland’s food, drink and horticulture sectors but considerable uncertainty still lies ahead for our largest indigenous sector.
