ICSA president Patrick Kent has welcomed the visit of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Agriculture Minister Han Changfu to Ireland.

“This visit is a welcome acknowledgement of the developing relationship between Ireland and China. The more markets we can open for Irish agricultural produce, the better for everyone,” said Mr. Kent.

“However, the bottom line is that these new markets must translate into better prices for farmers and not just lead to greater profits for processors and multinational supermarkets,” he warned.

ICSA president Sean McNamara has said he is urgently seeking clarification regarding the recent targeting of Irish livestock trucks by Irish officials at the port of Cherbourg. “ICSA has been contacted by several of the livestock hauliers affected who claim they were singled out by the Irish officials for additional inspections by the French authorities while non livestock carrying trucks were left alone. This was despite these inspections having no relevance to animal welfare,” he said.
