Brexit, China, milk prices and the future of Ireland's agri-food industry were all topics that Edmond Scanlon, the CEO of Kerry Group, discussed at the launch of the 2018 Irish Farmers Journal Agribusiness Report, in association with KPMG.
"Brexit is a very big near-term issue that all of us have to be thinking about every day.
"We’re very clear on what the disaster scenario looks like for Kerry. We have a small exposure to Brexit ourselves, but if there was tariffs imposed you have to understand what impact that is going to have on your business. You have to ensure you’re as efficient as you possibly can be," Scanlon said.

The Kerry CEO said that alternative proteins are not going away, and that they're only going to grow.
"How big it will be compared to meat and dairy [only] time will tell. Meat and dairy will continue to grow. They are very important markets for us," he said.
