Irish farm output has apparently jumped by 50 percent since 2010 according to a report from the Central Bank.
The increase is mainly down to the lifting of milk quotas, but such boom type increases are worrying.
The potential negative impact of Brexit could be magnified and cuts in farm subsidies due to the UK departure from the EU could also expose the ag sector to unexpected negative forces.
The report also highlights that the massive increases in export markets targeted by government may also run counter to the country’s climate change targets.
