As mentioned in my reply to Parliamentary Question 7714/11, I would regard the key contribution which the agri-food sector will make to Ireland's economic revival relates to
Its potential to generate export led growth
Its embedded contribution to the economy and employment,
Its ability to garner foreign export earnings; and
Together these provide the solid foundation for positioning this progressive indigenous industry as one of the central components of the country's export driven recovery.
