“Kerrygold’s performance in the key North American market in 2015 has been exceptional. Our butter and cheese brands are increasing in turnover and growing market share. While the market for dairy products overall has been positive in the US, we know that there is a particularly strong move towards sustainably produced products. American consumers have responded to our message about the ‘Grass – fed difference’. This gives us considerable confidence in our ability to deliver on our ambitious and achievable growth targets.”
