Editor's Notes
- What does BordBia do? Quality mark, Bloom, Trade fairs, supports to food companies, our Small Business teamFood industry – very important to economy, largest indigenous industry, widespread locations making contributions to local economies
- •The people who produce the food, their expertise and their commitment•Consumers enjoy the social interaction between themselves and those people•They can best experience this at a farmers market•But also in local shops and direct from the farm gate, people like to talk to other people
- Short distribution channels enable food producers to receive the rewards for their labours – increases their incomesConsumers can contribute to development of local areas, access wide variety of products rooted in their traditions and ways of lifeReduces the environmental impact of their consumption habits
- Did you know that the average Irish supermarket has 40,000 products on shelf?Competition is fierce for a share of shopper’s weekly spend. You are the experts at what you produce, but what about competing in this marketplace at home and abroad?
- Need to create a food culture – be mentioned as a gastronomic destination similar to France and Italy.Of the €2b spent –overseas visitors €1.2b, domestic over €700m.
- We need to promote Ireland as “The Food Island” to domestic and international visitors alikeA review of visitors perception has highlighted that Ireland has much to be proud of. However, price competitiveness is a concern, as is the need to ensure that quality is consistently high across all food related experiences.
- Expand the number of farmers markets, food trails, festivals etcVisitors Centres associated with local producers. Tayto Park,Skelligs Chocolate, Burren Smokehouse
