Bord Bia's Export Performance and Prospects Report 2024/2025 reveals a 5% growth in Ireland's food, drinks, and horticulture exports to €17 billion. Increased prices for goods, particularly in the drinks sector, fueled the growth. Irish whiskey exports increased by 13% to over €1 billion, while dairy exports remained stable at €6.3 billion. Meat and livestock exports also saw a 6% growth to €4.3 billion.

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue said the analysis was encouraging and showed a “hugely positive performance for the 2024 export value of Irish food and drink”. Mr O’Toole said the better weather conditions from August 2024 until December 2024 helped farmers to catch up on production declines in the first half of the year. “That coincided with an increase in commodity prices around butter, in particular, and cheese,” he said.
Most businesses who export Irish food and drink are optimistic about the coming year, according to a CEO Sentiment Survey conducted by Bord Bia last November.
