A trade mission to two countries in north Africa by members of Bord Bia and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has come to a “successful conclusion”. As well as representatives of the department and Bord Bia, the Irish delegation also included representatives of sustainable food systems Ireland, and a delegation from the Irish dairy and livestock sectors. The department expressed its gratitude to Irish Ambassador to Algeria Eamon Hickey; and Seán O’Regan, Irish Ambassador to Egypt; and their respective teams, for their help in making this week’s trade mission a success. Members of Bord Bia facilitated around 150 face-to-face business meetings, introducing “targeted potential buyers to the traveling Irish companies”. Bord Bia said that it will be following up on contacts made this week by attending the Gulford Trade Show in Dubai this month.
