“Inflation is a huge challenge. People are very, very sensitive to food inflation, probably way more than they are to inflation on Netflix”
A record €13.5 billion worth of food, drink and horticulture products were exported from the Republic last year, a 4 per cent rise on 2020. This was achieved despite both the pandemic and Brexit.
