"Impartial analysis predicts farm incomes won't be harmed - and maybe it's time the Irish agri sector looked beyond our traditional markets, like we had to do post-Brexit It's hard to believe that Brexit will be 10 years old this June. At the time I couldn't believe my ears. Not only was the US in the process of electing Donald Trump, but the Brits had somehow convinced themselves that they'd be better off outside the EU."
"It's hard to believe that Brexit will be 10 years old this June. At the time I couldn't believe my ears. Not only was the US in the process of electing Donald Trump, but the Brits had somehow convinced themselves that they'd be better off outside the EU. There were acres of newsprint expended on the devastating consequences this would have on the Irish agri sector, given how utterly dependent we were on the British market for beef and cheese exports."
An impartial analysis predicts that farm incomes will not be harmed. The Irish agri sector is advised to look beyond traditional markets, mirroring adjustments made after Brexit. Brexit occurred ten years ago in June and coincided with major international political shifts, including the US election of Donald Trump. The UK chose to leave the EU, prompting intense media coverage about potential damage. That coverage emphasized severe risks because of deep dependence on the British market for beef and cheese exports. The experience underlines the value of market diversification to reduce vulnerability.
