The Irish Government’s commitment to the agri-food sector remains strong. In the Estimate for 2020, the Exchequer is providing €1.6 billion for Programme Expenditure for agriculture, fisheries and food. Total public expenditure will amount to over €3 billion when the department’s Vote is combined with EU funding of €1.5 billion.
The Department of Agriculture’s strategic goals include commitments to:
- promote and safeguard public, animal and plant health and animal welfare for the benefit of consumers producers and wider society
