Sheep in mountains in Ireland #252226737

A positive for Irelandââ¬â¢s sheep industry is that the European Union is deficient in sheep meat only 88% sufficient, with consumption of an estimated 1.2million tonnes per annum compared to production of around 0.8 million tonnes in 2017 eurostat, 2018. Globally, the sheep flock is also in decline, leading to increased opportunities for Irish exports. 2011 has seen that factor reflected in higher farm gate prices in Ireland.
