Investing in the Future

Since the 1970s, the Irish government has increased investment in education and strengthened large-scale technical training in rural areas. This includes numerous agricultural colleges to train young farmers, and the foundation of a semi-state national consulting and training institution in 1980. It is this set of research, consulting, and training systems closely integrated with agricultural production, which enabled Ireland's agricultural development to have strong scientific guidance from the beginning, and avoided the blindness of ecological damage, pollution and over-development of land that has occurred in many other countries.

The positioning of Irish dairy products is a combination of nature and technology. In addition to the unique natural conditions, at a national level, the Irish government has invested €2.5 billion euros in the dairy industry since 2012, mainly for the technology, research and development of dairy products.

Dairy farmers in Ireland have fully equipped automatic milking systems, which have a positive impact on the livestock. Irish milk is subject to six inspections from production to drinking, ranging from fat content, lactose content, to bacteria sterilisation treatment. The process for feeding cows and sheep is controlled by a computer system. Each cow and sheep has an exclusive record. The ears of cows and sheep are equipped with an electronic tag to record their health, age, milk production, milking times and other data, which fully completes the automatic management.

Laws & Regulations

In 2021, Ireland was ranked No. 1 in the world in food safety by the Global Food Security Index. All foods in Ireland must be tested in accordance with EU food safety standards, but in 2012 the Irish Food Authority issued a more stringent food safety standard called "Origin Green". Through our manufacturing partner, Shannon Green’s products follow many of the food standards including the "Origin Green" standard for food safety, from natural grazing, milk source collection to production.
