While Northern Ireland’s exit from the EU as an integral part of UK is certain, we should not forget that this is a negotiation. Many scenarios are in the mix and little has been decided.
It is our goal to maximise the opportunities presented by Brexit and bring clarity where possible.
The referendum fallout for Northern Ireland farmers has been very little change. In fact, the weakening of sterling has made a marked improvement to incomes in all sectors and an increase in direct support.

The most recent commitment by the Conservative Party to retain the current level of funding until 2022 is welcome. This clarity affords government and industry the space to focus on policies that work best for farmers and the environment post-Brexit.
The UK is about 60% self-sufficient in food. We want to ensure this increases in order to cement our place as one of the world’s most important and lucrative agri-food markets. Brussels is not the haven it once was for agriculture. It faces budgetary pressures from competing priorities, enlargement has made it difficult to create tailored local policy, and the level of audit and red tape is out of proportion.
The people of the UK have given their verdict. It is vital that the UK and the EU work to find a mutually beneficial way forward.
