Northern Ireland's agri-food sector - background and possible 'Brexit' considerations

Abstract

This briefing paper provides contextual information on the agriculture and food and drink processing sectors, as well as exploring potential considerations for the sectors following on from the UK referendum decision to leave the European Union on the 23rd June. It should be stated that the full ramifications of this decision will not be known until such time as the UK has formally negotiated the terms of its exit from the EU, and as such some or all of the information in this paper will undoubtedly be subject to change.
