Vivienne ClarkeThe chair of the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) livestock committee, Brendan Golden, has called for political pressure to be maintained to swiftly resolve the halting of beef exports to China. But I hope it can be resolved quickly, and I hope that the Chinese respond quicker this time round. “The key point here is back in 2019, the market was building, and we were getting more sustainable. So that’s not something we expect to have an impact in relation to our wider export levels. China is currently a small part of our overall beef exports, but an important one because we see real potential in that market in the years ahead.
